Development and introduction of technology, equipment for production of effective heat-insulating materials and goods based on basalt fiber from local rocks
Currently used local heat-insulating materials are characterized with low thermal insulating properties.
Recently there is a trend of application of rock wool and rigid rockwool slabs of basalt fiber, different from conventionally used ones by higher heat insulating and sanitary hygienic properties.
Study of local basalt rocks and experimental production of basalt fiber at the experimental base showed the opportunity to produce effective heat-insulation materials with higher heat insulating properties.
Application of such materials will be quite broad: from heat insulation of various heating units, heat-supplying lines to heat-insulated products to be used in construction.
At the present time, for creation of the conditions for mass usage of heat-insulation materials and basalt-fiber based products, it's necessary to further develop the technology and improve the equipment for its production on the basis of local raw materials.
As a result of the work, the process regulations will be prepared for production and application of heat-insulating material and basalt-fiber based products. Effect from application of the above material is formed by reduction of material consumption during heat insulation, saving fuel and energy resources.
