  • Apparatus and process for producing fiber from igneous rock
    Patent number: 11760677
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for producing fibers from igneous rock, including basalt include heating igneous rock by electrical conductive coils to achieve an homogenous melt and forming homogenous fibers from the melt.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 28, 2020
    Date of Patent: September 19, 2023
    Assignee: USB I, LLC
    Inventors: Oleksandr Biland, Robert Bruce Ferguson, Sr.
  • COMPOSITE FIBERS
    Publication number: 20210245456
    Abstract: Improved composite fibers, and structural materials mixed with the improved composite fibers, are produced by an improved process that vertically texturizes and impregnates resin into the fibers without introducing any substantial amount of microbubbles in the resin. By using vertical impregnation and twisting of fiber strands with specific viscosity control, stronger composite fibers, in which substantially no microbubbles are trapped, are produced with improved tensile strength and lower variance in tensile strength, for use in strengthening structural concrete and other structural materials.
    Type: Application
