Armenian basalt / Quality at the source
Distinctive origins. Measurable quality.
ARMBAS identifies the composition of its Armenian basalt raw material as a foundation for high-quality continuous fiber. The quality case combines the mineral source, fiber-production technology and a specification matched to the application.
Origin alone does not guarantee superior performance. No independent comparison supplied here establishes Armenian basalt as better than every other basalt source. Fiber properties are not finished-composite specifications.

Dry strands, wet strands and chopped composite rebar are distinct products. Confirm dispersion, dosage, sizing and cut length; the image is not a tested mix design.

02 / In practice
From material to application.
Concrete & mortar
Dispersed fiber reinforcement with a concrete-compatible grade and an engineered dosage.
Moulded composites
Dry sized strands for compatible thermoplastic or thermoset matrices.
03 / Economic value
Evaluate the whole life.
Compare dosage, mixing effort and finishing with the required performance. Reduced cracking or maintenance is not guaranteed for every mix.
