RockFiber™ is a material made from extremely fine fibers of igneous rock. It is similar to fiberglass in some ways, but is made from a single, naturally occurring raw material.  The rock is melted at high temperatures through an induction process and then extruded through small nozzles to create thin fibers.  

​

They're limitless.  Enhanced by RockFiber™, available both in roving and chopped form,  FRP composites reach new levels of strength, lightness and durability. The innovative material is inherently flame resistant, non-corrosive and hydrophobic, ensuring versatility across a wide range of industries ranging athletic equipment to aerospace, and everything in between.  

FRP stands for Fiber-Reinforced Polymer. It refers to a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The polymer matrix can be a thermoset or thermoplastic resin, and the fibers are typically glass, carbon, or basalt (a common type of igneous rock.) 

​

FRP composites can be used to fortify concrete structures like bridges, sea walls and pre-cast cement pipes,  enhancing their resilience and durability . RockFiber™, as the core load-bearing component in FRP rebar or as a  macrofiber product added to concrete, significantly extends the life of these structures. 

Yes.  Made from a single, abundant and unprocessed natural material, and manufactured using electricity powered by renewables, RockFiber™ is a sustainable and decarbonizing material.

Conceptually nothing is new here, we're melting rocks to make filaments, but our induction process is a game-changer.  It offers better temperature, control, more flexibility, and is eco-friendly. This allows  for the use of a wider range of rocks to produce higher quality, purer, and stronger filaments at scale.
