Technical Data Sheet BCS D-L-DRY
Basalt continuous filaments roving is chopped to lengths for the production of mats and the reinforcement of composites.
BCS : Basalt Chopped Strand
The first code D indicates the monofilament diameter: 10-20 urn The second code L indicates the chop length : 1/8", VV", !4", 1", 2", 3" The third code DRY indicates the sizing.
The good mechanical properties of BCF (strength & rigidity), the easy wetting of the filament surface and their recyclability make them particularly suitable for said composites application.
Six chopped lengths are proposed. A standard sizing, AminoSilane, ensures good adhesion to phenolic and epoxy resins. Other sizings can be proposed as options under customer order.

Packaging
The chopped basalt filaments are put in a PP bag inside an hexagonal cardboard box, with identification label. The box is securely strapped to a pallet. Total weight is about 500 kg.
Product Stability:
BASALTEX™ Products have not been designed for full external exposure conditions and cannot be guaranteed for use in such situations. However, these BASALTEX™ products have considerable tolerance to damp conditions and occasional water immersion. After drying out, the product will give the same level of performance as the original sample.
Stability over time:
Said products not being subjected to excessive heat, wear and abrasion, all evidence obtained to date indicates that their performance should not significantly change over a significant period of time.
It is the responsibility of the developer of the end-product, finished device or system to test its performance in the end-application.
