Composite Wave Sheets from Basalt Fiber for Pitched Roofing

Abstract

This article describes scientific research on the creation of highly efficient asbestos-free composite sheet roofing materials based on basalt fibers using nanotechnology and innovative developments, based on local conditions. Since in modern conditions the problems of environmentally friendly and durable materials are acute, the authors propose an innovative method of replacing asbestos and chrysotile fibers in the production of waved roofing sheets. New ideas and results of experimental developments, technological regulations and practical experiments in this direction are proposed. The Mega Invest Industrial joint venture is a high-tech basalt fiber producer in Central Asia and the second largest producer in the CIS, which produces a wide range of ultra-strong basalt fibers. The authors made an attempt to realize the idea of using local basalt fiber for the production of waving roofing sheets.
