Textile made of natural stone? Yes, it is possible!

First the basalt is melted at a temperature of 1,400 degC (2550 degF).
The molten rock is then extruded through small nozzles for the
production of filaments of basalt fibers. The high modulus of
elasticity of the product results in an excellent tensile strength,
which is more than twice the tensile strength of steel.

Basalt Woven Textile has high corrosive and chemical resistance to
the influence of a corrosive media: salt solutions, acid solutions
and particularly alkali liquids. The specific strength of basalt
fiber exceeds the strength of alloyed steel by a factor of 2,5 and
the strength of glass fiber by a factor of 1,5. Heat-insulating items
made from basalt fiber combined with inorganic binding agents may be
used by temperatures up to 700degS. In addition there is a range of
compositions consisting of basalt rocks that have a higher thermal
stability - up to 800degS.

Basalt fibers also have high electric-insulating characteristics and
transparency for electromagnetic radiation. These properties allow
basalt fiber to be used for production of electric insulating
materials for low-voltage (up to 250 V) and high-voltage (500 V)
equipment.
