ACADEMICIA: An International Multidisciplinary Research Journal

There are described the possibilities of creating unconventional materials, targeted functional paintings, and value-added products through the use of basalt raw materials in this article. The chemical composition of basalt is mainly: SiO2 - 45–60%, Al2O3 - 12–19%, Fe2O3 and FeO - 515%, SaO - 6–12% MgO - 3–7%, TiO2 - 0.9–2%, Na2O andK2O - 2.5–6% and other compounds -2-3.5%. The strength of basalt fiber, in accordance with the existing dimensions of the diameter of elementary fibers: 5.0 microns - 215 kg/mm2; 6.0 microns - 210 kg/mm2; 8.0 microns - 208 kg/mm2; 9.0 microns - 214 kg/mm2; 11.0 microns - 205 kg/mm2. Basalt fabrics and products have high strength, non-flammable and flammable, maintain their integrity up to +980 °C, are resistant to electromagnetic radiation, moisture, corrosion, resistant to chemical influences (acidic, alkaline media and salts) and have electrical insulating properties. The article is devoted to the prospects for creating functionally oriented products, innovative composite materials aimed at localizing and creating additional value and research on the use of basalt.
