basalt fibers

 The properties of the filled polymer compositions largely depend on the nature and surface properties of the fillers- basalt fiber. The possibility of modifying the surface of the basalt fiber with commercial polyhexamethyleneguanidinehydrochloride and non-commercial polydiethyleneaminoguanidine - appretes, were demonstrated for the first time.

Technology of polymer materials production based on polypropylene reinforced by modified basalt fibers has been obtained. The experimental results of polypropylene modification by benzoyl peroxides and mixture of benzoyl peroxide with methylvinylcyclosiloxane on mechanical properties of composite material have been shown. It has been established that composite materials based on crosslinked polypropylene reinforced by basalt fibers which are dressed by polyepichlorohydrin resins have the increased mechanical and thermo-physical properties.
