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.

The density, diameter and modulus entries are inconsistent with continuous-roving data and have no identified grade/test basis. Retained for completeness only; not design values, not grounds for ranking finished products. Source temperature retention is not composite fire performance.

Source notes & verification.
The overview is an original synthesis of the ARMBAS presentation, general technical information, geomesh specification, mesh brochure, two standard-fiber listings, roving TDS, June 2026 road-geogrid TDS and the two SHINCERTIFICATE uploads. Page references identify the evidence without providing the original files.
Supplier figures are not guaranteed minimum design values unless explicitly stated. Missing methods, conflicting units, historical certification and ambiguous entries are flagged rather than silently corrected. Product availability, resin compatibility, exposure, fire performance and local structural compliance require confirmation.
Specify with confidence.
Confirm your grade, application and current technical requirements.
