We live in a world concerned about recyclability and having sustainable products, hence Basalt Fiber is a good answer since it is a green product and with processes that generate less waste and with less impact on the environment.
Compared to Carbon and Aramid Fiber, it has a wider application temperature range (limited of course by the glass transition of the matrix), higher oxidation resistance, higher radiation resistance, higher compressive strength and greater resistance to cutting.
The production of Basalt Fiber strands is such a complex process and is quite similar to the process for producing Fiberglass once the stones are melted down (yes! they are basically created from magma)
