Abstract: A composite panel includes a thermoplastic base of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, a composite layer including basalt fibers, with the composite layer bonded to the thermoplastic base, and the composite layer including at least two sub-layers of basalt material. Each sub-layer of basalt material is bonded to adjacent sub-layers of basalt material, where each sub-layer of basalt material comprises basalt fabric, and where the composite layer provides a protective fire barrier configured to prevent flame and smoke generation upon application of a 3400° F. flame to the composite layer.

Abstract: A composite liner includes first and second basalt fabric layers with at least one of the first and second basalt fabric layers formed from woven basalt fibers. The composite liner further includes a core positioned between the first and second basalt fabric layers, where the first and second basalt fabric layers are secured to the core.

Abstract: A composite panel includes a thermoplastic base and a basalt fiber-based composite layer attached to the thermoplastic base. The basalt fiber-based composite layer includes at least two sub-layers of basalt material with each sub-layer of basalt material being bonded to adjacent sub-layers of basalt material. The basalt fiber-based composite layer provides a protective fire barrier.

Abstract: A cargo trailer includes a floor, a roof and a side wall extending vertically upward between the floor and roof. The side wall includes a substantially gas impermneable outer liner panel and a substantially gas impermeable inner liner panel. The inner liner panel includes at least one glass and polymer layer and one gas impermeable barrier layer. The inner liner panel can also be used to form the roof and replace the outer liner panel.
