What IS BASALTWOOL?

7 Strengths of Stone
Japan’s lightweight Basaltwool technology made from natural volcanic rock for superior performance and sustainability. Naturally non-combustible and moisture-resistant, it enhances building safety while maintaining stable performance for up to 50 years.

CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

BASALT

This product is a high-density, rigid insulation board that can be used for the thermal insulation of building walls, roofs, and floors. It is made from fibers produced from molten basalt rock and combines heat resistance with long-term stability.

  • Contributes to the reduction of air pollution. Excellent sound absorption providing a sound-proofing effect, and reduces fire risk and protects human life and property.
  • In particular, it has the ability to withstand high temperatures of 1000°C or more and, compared with other insulation materials, exhibits outstanding fire resistance. In the event of a fire, it can slow the spread of flames and secure valuable time for evacuation and firefighting.

BASALTWOOL INSULATION

Basalt wool with a density of 35–130 kg/m³ — these are rather rigid slabs that can be used to insulate interfloor floors, load-bearing structures, upper layers in a load bearing roof device and other load bearing structures. It is made from molten basalt rock, which is converted into fiber with characteristics that no other insulation material has.

In particular, the characteristics of this thermal insulation material are:

  • Energy saving
  • Reduction of pollution
  • Noise absorption
  • Reducing the risk of fires
  • Protection of life and property in case of fire

SIGNIFICANCE OF BASALT WOOL

Basalt wool is a natural material with many advantages, such as fire resistance, sound insulation, long life, and no adverse effects on health. It is suitable for use in construction, industry, transportation, horticulture, and water management.

Basalt stone wool thermal insulation material is a very important strategic product for national sustainable constructions that are friendly to the environment and society, reduce carbon dioxide and its footprint, are energy and heat efficient, have no quality risk, and provide fire safety.

WHAT TO CUT BASALTWOOL WITH?

In production, the material is cut on machines. At home, you can use a clerical knife. It is sharp enough, but only suitable for slabs of small thickness. Thicker mats are cut with a special metal hacksaw. It is necessary to cut carefully, without pulling the fibers. Measure with a ruler and mark with a pencil the lines along which the cut will go.

PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION

Insulation materials are environmentally friendly, but you need to be careful when working with them. When tiles are cut, microparticles are released into the air and can enter the lungs. You should wear a respirator or at least a gauze bandage. It is also recommended to protect your eyes with special glasses or a mask. In general, basalt is not dangerous — when it gets on the skin, it does not cause allergies, itching or other symptoms.

Rebar

Basalt rebar is manufactured by bonding parallel basalt fibers with resin and forming them into rod-shaped bars. The surface has a spiral profile, which improves adhesion to concrete. Made from volcanic basalt rock, it is strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant, and is considered a next-generation alternative to steel reinforcement.

Features / Advantages

  • Corrosion Resistant — does not rust or corrode, ensuring long-term durability.
  • Lightweight — approximately one-quarter the weight of steel rebar, making it significantly lighter than conventional reinforcement.
  • Reduced Transportation Costs — its lower weight enables more efficient and cost-effective transport.
  • Easy Assembly and Installation — simplifies handling and accelerates construction processes.
  • Long Service Life (Over 100 Years) — designed for durability with an extended lifespan exceeding a century.

THERMOBASALT

Thermobasalt insulation is a vapor-tight insulation material using a synthetic resin binder and is ideal for pipes, chimneys, ducts, and industrial cylindrical equipment. The outer surface is finished with aluminum foil metallized paper / foil mat, providing high moisture resistance and durability. Depending on the shape and size of the installation area, it is manufactured in two types: cylindrical type and rolled mat type.

Thermobasalt (M60 kg/m³) rolled mats are used as insulation for ventilation ducts, low-temperature and heat-resistant pipelines, various tanks and storage facilities with porous surfaces, vegetable greenhouses, and cooling facilities. Thermobasalt (M80 and M100 kg/m³) rolled mats are used as insulation for high-temperature steam, hot-water, and gas pipelines, steam pressure vessels, high-temperature combustion furnaces, equipment, installations, and chimneys in oil refineries, power plants, and heat-supply plants.

APPLICATION

Thermobasalt application diagram

BASALTWOOL® industrially manufactured, mutually compatible insulation components provide the same insulation capacity both for straight pipe sections and pipe elbows, helping to maintain optimal performance throughout the pipeline.

The high service temperatures involved in power generation, together with the variety of components that require insulation demand a wide range of special insulation solutions. For example, boilers need flexible, multilayer solutions, whereas tanks require a range of varying density slabs with high compressive stress.

GROWOOL

Cultivation using hydroponic technology based on rock wool does not depend on climate or weather conditions and enables stable harvests throughout all four seasons. The staff of Mongol Basalt JSC prepared the first a hydroponic cultivation technology guidebook in Mongolian and began selling it in 2021.

Cultivation by hydroponic technology using stone sponge will create the possibility of sustainable harvest in four seasons of the year, regardless of the weather. The staff of Mongolia Basalt JSC prepared the first Mongolian-language hydroponic technology instruction and handbook for soilless cultivation and released it for sale in 2021.

GROWOOL is a medium made exclusively for hydroponic cultivation (soilless cultivation) and is made from fibers derived from basalt. It promotes healthy and stable growth by stably supporting plant roots and uniformly supplying moisture, oxygen, and nutrients. Using GROWOOL enables stable crop production throughout the year, unaffected by climate or weather. It also significantly reduces water usage compared to conventional soil cultivation, creating a clean and easy-to-manage cultivation environment.
