The bottom layer of the Earth's crust consists of basalt, and it reaches us as a result of magmatic eruption and rapid cooling. The quality of basalt as a building material component depends on its precise chemical composition as well as the conditions under which it was formed. This is the reason why not all basalt mines meet the quality requirements of the international market.

Basalt is a very heavy and strong stone. The stone has high tensile strength and high modulus of elasticity. Temperature changes do not affect basalt, it is resistant to acids, alkalis, does not absorb moisture. It doesn’t corrode, has a low price and complete absence of conductivity and inductance under the influence of radio frequency energy. Basalt is environmentally friendly because it is of natural origin.

The flexibility of basalt opens new horizons for its use. Modern manufacturers use basalt to produce tennis rackets, revolutionary new acoustic systems with excellent vibration perception, as well as skis, snowboards and skateboards. Basalt is used also to producebasalt fabric which is light but has strong properties.
