Wiking ® Super B Rebar BASALT REBARS • Made of 100% crushed Basalt, a type of volcanic rock • The rock is melted at 1600°C, spun, and then extruded • The Basalt rebars are sanded and profiled for better adhesion in concrete, reaching a 16MPa bond stress • Naturally resistant to external influences • Produced in a variety of diameters to meet customer requirements ADVANTAGES • Resistant to extreme temperatures • Four times the strength of steel at a quarter of the weight • Non-corrosive • Does not need to be removed before recycling or disposal since it is completely natural • Reduce concrete cost: the Basalt rebar has a thermal expansion coefficient similar to concrete which means the thickness of the concrete can be reduced • Light weight: 10 times less mass per longitudinal meter of rebar allows for a reduction in the use of vehicles and cranes TECHNICAL PARAMETERS Strength 1730 MPa Density 2.2 g/cm 3 Modulus of Elasticity 62 GPa Strain 2.2% Fiber Content 65-70% COMPOUND PROPERTIES Melt Temperature 1450°C Density 2.6 - 2.8 g/cm 3 Modulus of Elasticity 91 - 110 GPa Moisture Absorption < 0.1% Thermal Conductivity 2 W/mK Elongation Factor 6 x 10 -7 /K BASALT PROPERTIES Diameter Strength Weight 4 mm 1460 MPa 30 g/m 6 mm 1400 MPa 60 g/m 8 mm 1300 MPa 110 g/m 10 mm 1200 MPa 170 g/m 12 mm 970 MPa 240 g/m PRODUCT AVAILABILITY MultiSolv Inc. 1040 Martingrove Rd.
