ABSTRACT
Basalt fibre which made from fibres of basalt rock is very much similar to the carbon and the fibre glass and have better physicomechanical properties and cheaper. One Kg of basalt reinforces is equal 9.6 Kg of the steel. They have many field applications and can replace many costly and rare materials. Its manufacturing process is very simple and raw materials are found virtually every country. Basalt fibres offer the potential to solve the largest problem in the cement and concrete industry.

1. INTRODUCTION
Basalt Fibre which is also known as Basalt Fiber is a material which is made from the extremely fine fibres of the Basalt, which composed of Pyroxene, minerals plagioclase and Olivine. This is very much similar to the Carbon Fibre and the Fibre Glass, which is having better Physicomechanical properties than the fibre glass, but which is being significantly cheaper that the Carbon Fiber. It is also used as the fiber proof textile in the automotive industries and in the Aerospace and also can be used as a com posite to produce the products such as the tripods. Basalt is well known as the rock found in the virtually every country all around the world. Basalt Rock fibres has no toxic reaction with the air or water, are non combustible and the explosion proof. Whe n in contact with the other chemicals they will produce no chemical reactions that may damage health or environment. The Basalt base composites can be replacing steel and known reinforced plastics. One Kg of basalt reinforces is equals to 9.6 Kg of the steel. There seems to be something quite poetic in using a fibre m ade from the natural rock to reinforce a material, which may quite reasonably being described as the artificial rock. Raw material for producing basalt fiber is the rock of a volcanic origin.

They are made of natural raw material (natural chemical composition provides chemical stability and resistance). They are non-inflammable and they can carry out distributed load. The cost is 4-5 lower than other geotextile material

1. Only one component of basalt, which is an environmentally safe natural material is used for CBF production; 2. Cost of basalt raw material is very low; the share of raw material, cost in the final cost of production is less than 5%; 3. CBF production technology consists of only one phase of melting. There is no need for primary enrichment, fusion and Homogenization, as all of those was made for free by nature; 4. To make CBF basalt should be heated up only one time; 5. Further processing of CBF into materials does not require energy; It is made with application of cold technologies.
1. Higher mechanical strength and modulus. 2. More resistive to chemical aggressive environment than E -glass mesh. 3. Lower cost and better mechanical properties than for mesh made of special glass fiber. 4. The melting point of basalt fibers is 1450 C. 5. Lower elongation before brake than for synthetic material. 6. Easily milled using typical milling equipmen t. Does not stretch and pull as polymer meshes. 7. No special equipment is required to install the reinforcement. 8. Basalt mesh is environment friendly and based on naturally occurring material that is found worldwide.
TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
High tensile strength, quite durable, Alkali & acids resistant, High thermal conductivity. Completely inert with no environmental risks.

6.1. HISTORY
The first attempts to produce basalt fiber were made in the United States in 1923. These were further developed after World War II by researchers in the USA, Europe and the Soviet Union especially for military and aerospace applications. Since declassification in 1995 basalt fibers have been used in a wider range of civilian applications.

6.6. MANUFACTURE
Basalt fiber is made from a single material, crushed basalt, from a carefully chosen quarry source and unlike other materials such as glass fiber, essentially no materials are added. The basalt is simply washed and then sent to be melted down. The manufacture of basalt fiber requires the melting of the quarried basalt rock at about 1,400 C (2,550 F). The molten rock is then extruded through small nozzles to produce continuous filaments of basal t fiber. There are three main manufacturing techniques, which are centrifugal -blowing, centrifugalmulti roll and die-blowing. The fibers typically have a filament diameter of between 9 and 13 m which is far enough above the respiratory limit of 5 m to make basalt fiber a suitable replacement for asbestos. They also have a high elastic modulus, resulting in excellent specific tenacitythree times that of steel.

7. CONCLUSION
Basalt Rock fibres have no toxic reaction with air or water, are noncombustible and explosion proof. When in contact with other chemicals they produce no chemical reactions that may damage health or the environment. Basalt base composites can replace steel and known reinforced plastics (1 kg of basalt reinforces equals 9.6 kg of steel). Basalt can replace almost all applications of asbestos and has three times its heat insulating properties. Basalt is well known as a rock found in virtually every country round the world. Basalt rock is more in India (specially in Maharashtra). The cost of basalt is 10 times lower than that of raw materials for fibreglass. Basalt is more available than any other raw material. Also the melting temperature is lower, thus energy consumption lower. Thus, the cost of basalt f ibre is considerable lower than that of similar materials. More workers are not required to operate the manufacturing plant.
Thus, I conclude that we can install the First project in India (Maharashtra).
