Basanite Industries (hereinafter "Basanite") announced that it has received formal approval to begin production of Basanite's proprietary basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) bar BasaFlex ™.
The announcement put Basanite in focus as the only specialized manufacturer of BFRP in North America. In addition, Basanite, with its advanced in-house quality assurance / quality control laboratory, equipped with the latest instruments and technology, has become the only BFRP manufacturer with such equipment and is in a leading position in the industry.
Basanite, with its highly engineered and proprietary product supply capabilities, is at the forefront of next-generation infrastructure enhancements. BasaFlex ™ rib manufacturing methods, resin matrix, and profile design are all proprietary to Basanite, and the company is seeking intellectual property protection. The advantages of BasaFlex ™ are clearly understood by the industry. This is a high-strength, non-corrosive, more durable and sustainable solution that saves time and money throughout the life cycle of concrete structures.
BasaFlex ™ is a better basalt bar. Its design purpose is to increase the intrinsic value in the concrete structure by eliminating the corrosion problems caused by the intervention products or the natural corrosion problems caused by the steel bars themselves. Basanite is working hard to establish itself as a recognized leader in the market for engineered composite bars in the concrete industry.
