Basalt Roving

Roving is the continuous lock consisting of complex strings. BPG manufactures roving of 200-2400 tex, with elementary fibre diameter of 9-20 micron. Basalt roving is used for production of textile fabrics, non woven mats, electric insulation tapes, plastic reinforcement and in the silencer systems of combustion engines.
