Basalt Fiber for Concrete
Chopped Continuous-Filament Basalt Fiber for FRC and High-Performance Concrete
HPM® Basalt is a chopped continuous-filament basalt fiber for concrete and cementitious systems where fiber dimensions, elastic modulus, dosage and matrix compatibility are important selection criteria.
It can be evaluated for fiber-reinforced concrete, high-performance concrete, precast elements, shotcrete, industrial floors and selected infrastructure applications.
What Is HPM® Basalt Fiber?
HPM® Basalt is a chopped mineral fiber manufactured from basalt-based continuous filaments for use in concrete and other cementitious materials. Unlike polymer microfibers, basalt fiber is an inorganic mineral reinforcement material with different density, stiffness, thermal behavior and matrix-interaction characteristics.
HPM® Basalt can be evaluated where distributed fiber reinforcement, fiber stiffness and application-specific material compatibility are part of the concrete design.
Typical evaluation areas include high-performance concrete, precast elements, shotcrete, industrial floors and selected infrastructure or marine applications.
Final product selection should be based on fiber dimensions, dosage, concrete matrix, required performance and current product-specific technical documentation.

How HPM® Basalt Fiber Works in Concrete
HPM® Basalt uses chopped mineral filaments distributed throughout the cementitious matrix. When adequately dispersed, the fibers can intersect developing cracks and contribute to distributed crack bridging at the micro scale.
Mineral Fiber Reinforcement
Basalt fiber has a different material composition and stiffness from polypropylene, PAN or PVA fibers. Its behavior in concrete therefore depends on the selected fiber dimensions, modulus, dosage and matrix properties.
Crack Bridging
Fibers crossing developing cracks can participate in crack bridging and help limit crack opening. The actual effect depends on fiber distribution, dosage, concrete strength, curing and test method.
Matrix Interaction
Performance should be evaluated together with the cementitious matrix. High-performance concrete, shotcrete, precast concrete and marine concrete can impose different requirements on fiber length, alkali exposure, workability and dispersion.
Product-Specific Performance
Any quantified improvement in toughness, impact resistance, fatigue resistance, abrasion resistance or durability should be supported by HPM® Basalt product-specific test data.

Key Features of HPM® Basalt
Chopped Mineral Fiber
Uses chopped continuous-filament basalt fiber for distributed reinforcement in cementitious materials.
High Elastic Modulus
The basalt fiber material provides a relatively high elastic modulus compared with many polymer microfibers, subject to the current product specification.
Fine Fiber Dimensions
Available fine-diameter grades can be evaluated for concrete, mortar and high-performance cementitious matrices.
Distributed Crack Bridging
Fibers crossing developing cracks can contribute to micro-scale crack bridging when adequately dispersed.
Multiple Fiber Lengths
Available fiber lengths can be selected according to application, matrix and current product specification.
Product-Specific Dosage
Dosage should be selected according to the concrete application, fiber grade, matrix compatibility and required performance.
Recommended Applications
High-Performance Concrete
HPM® Basalt can be evaluated for high-performance concrete where fiber stiffness, fine dimensions and matrix compatibility are relevant to the reinforcement strategy.
Precast Concrete
Chopped basalt fiber may be evaluated for precast panels, pipes, façade elements and other cementitious components according to production method, fiber grade, dosage and required performance.
Shotcrete and Tunnel Concrete
HPM® Basalt may be considered for selected shotcrete and tunnel applications where fiber distribution, mixing, placement and project-specific performance requirements have been confirmed.
Industrial Floors and Slabs
The product can be evaluated for industrial floors and slabs where distributed crack-control reinforcement is part of the concrete design.
Infrastructure Concrete
HPM® Basalt may be evaluated in bridges, tunnels and other infrastructure applications according to environmental exposure, concrete design and available technical evidence.
Marine and Coastal Concrete
Basalt fiber may be evaluated for selected marine and coastal cementitious systems where alkali, salt exposure and long-term material compatibility are supported by product-specific data.
Basalt Fiber for UHPC
HPM® Basalt may be evaluated for compatible UHPC matrices where fiber dimensions, modulus, dispersion, matrix design and required performance support its use. Product-specific UHPC test data should be reviewed before specification.
Dosage and Mixing Guidelines
HPM® Basalt dosage should be selected according to fiber length, concrete application, matrix properties, required performance and current product technical documentation.
Mixing procedures should provide sufficient time to distribute the selected chopped basalt fiber grade throughout the concrete or mortar without excessive fiber concentration.

Reinforcement Design Considerations
HPM® Basalt is a chopped fiber reinforcement product and should not be treated as a universal replacement for structural reinforcement.
Where a project considers reduction or substitution of welded wire reinforcement, mesh or other conventional reinforcement, the decision should be based on structural design, applicable performance testing and project-specific approval rather than fiber dosage alone.

Matrix, dosage, dimensions, evidence
Basalt and polymer fibers differ in material composition, stiffness, density and interaction with cementitious matrices. Product selection should be based on the intended application and product-specific test data rather than assuming one fiber material is universally better.
Applicable Standards and Technical References
Applicable standards depend on the HPM® Basalt product grade, intended concrete application and destination market. Review current technical data, test reports and conformity documents before specification.
Product documentation may reference standards for fiber-reinforced concrete or specific material test methods. Confirm the applicable standard number, scope, edition and product classification in the latest controlled documentation.
