ʻO ka basalt fiber he ʻano hou o ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo kūlohelohe kūlohelohe ʻōmaʻomaʻo kiʻekiʻe, ʻaʻole ikaika kiʻekiʻe wale nō ka basalt mau, akā loaʻa nō hoʻi nā ʻano mea maikaʻi loa e like me ka insulation uila, ke kūpaʻa corrosion, ke kūpaʻa wela kiʻekiʻe. Hana ʻia ka fiber basalt ma ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana i ka ʻohe basalt ma ke kiʻekiʻe o ka wela a huki iā ia i loko o ka uea, he silicate ka like me ka ʻaila maoli, a hiki ke biodegraded i ke kaiapuni ma hope o ka ʻōpala, ʻaʻole ia e pōʻino i ke kaiapuni. Ua hoʻohana ʻia nā fibers mau basalt ma kahi ākea o nā noi, ʻo ia hoʻi nā mea i hoʻohui ʻia i ka fiber-reinforced, nā mea friction, nā mea hana moku, nā mea insulation thermal, ka ʻoihana automotive, nā lole kānana kiʻekiʻe, a me nā kahua pale.
