Basalt Cloth

Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies a specialist range of basalt cloths and basalt fire barrier materials engineered for passive fire protection, thermal insulation, heat shielding, fire containment and industrial thermal management applications. Manufactured from continuous basalt fibre derived from volcanic rock, basalt fabrics offer excellent resistance to heat, flame, abrasion and thermal shock whilst maintaining good mechanical strength and dimensional stability. Basalt fibres are increasingly specified where enhanced fire performance is required beyond conventional glass fibre fabrics.

The basalt cloth range supplied by Textile Technologies Europe Ltd includes Basalt Fire Barrier Cloth and B-TRON Basalt Fire Membranes. These materials are widely used in transportation, construction, OEM fire protection systems, thermal barriers, compartmentation systems and industrial applications where lightweight, non-combustible fire-resistant materials are required.

Basalt Cloth Comparison Guide

Basalt Fire Barrier Cloth

Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Basalt Fire Barrier Cloth manufactured from woven continuous basalt fibre technology. Produced from naturally occurring volcanic rock, basalt fibre combines excellent thermal resistance with high tensile strength, good chemical resistance and outstanding fire performance. Basalt cloth is non-combustible and retains its integrity at temperatures significantly higher than conventional glass fibre materials.

Basalt Fire Barrier Cloth is widely used in fire containment systems, thermal barriers, heat shields, insulation jackets, transportation applications and industrial thermal protection assemblies where enhanced fire resistance and mechanical durability are required.

B-TRON Basalt Fire Membranes

Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies B-TRON Basalt Fire Membranes, a high-performance fire barrier system manufactured from basalt fibre reinforced with Twaron® aramid and protected by an advanced silicone elastomer coating. This unique combination creates a lightweight, flexible and non-combustible composite material designed for applications where stringent fire safety requirements apply.

The interaction of basalt fibre and Twaron® reinforcement provides enhanced tensile strength whilst maintaining excellent thermal performance. The specialist silicone coating improves flexibility and durability, allowing the membrane to be incorporated into a wide range of fire protection systems. Selected grades are also available with advanced intumescent graphite technologies to provide enhanced passive fire protection performance.

B-TRON Basalt Fire Membranes are commonly used in transportation systems, rolling stock, aerospace interiors, construction products, fire compartmentation systems and OEM applications where reducing fire load and improving occupant safety are critical design requirements.

Why Choose Basalt Cloth?

Basalt fibre textiles offer a unique combination of thermal resistance, fire performance, mechanical strength and environmental durability. Compared with conventional glass fibre fabrics, basalt materials can provide improved temperature capability, enhanced abrasion resistance and excellent resistance to thermal shock. Basalt fibres are naturally derived from volcanic rock and are increasingly specified for demanding fire protection and thermal management applications.
