Non-combustible, flexible and lightweight-A new high-performance material based on basalt fibre polymer composites

INTRODUCTION. Currently, no flexible composite materials are available which can be manufactured and processed similar to tarpaulin materials in a roll-to-roll process and which meet the strict fire test criteria of construction material class A2, according to the standard EN 13501-1. This standard classifies material class A into At (without combustible parts) and A2 (with combustible parts to a small extent).
