Cast Basalt Floors
Cast basalt flooring solutions providing exceptional strength and wear resistance.
Hexagonal cast basalt slate is a precision-engineered wear resistant lining tile designed for complex surfaces and severe abrasion applications in mining, power generation and cement industries.
Hexagonal cast basalt slate is a specially designed wear lining tile featuring a six-sided geometry that provides superior surface coverage compared to conventional rectangular tiles. The hexagonal shape reduces stress concentration points and enables seamless installation on both flat and curved equipment surfaces.
Manufactured from carefully selected natural basalt rock, the material develops a dense microcrystalline structure after controlled crystallization, providing hardness comparable to high-grade ceramics while maintaining excellent resistance to impact and thermal shock.
The combination of geometric efficiency and exceptional material properties makes hexagonal basalt slates one of the most effective solutions for industrial wear protection.
The Hexagonal Cast Basalt Slate is an advanced material solution known for its extreme durability and wear resistance, making it perfect for industrial applications. Its unique hexagonal shape provides enhanced coverage and interlocking capability, ideal for environments exposed to heavy wear and abrasion.
Hexagonal cast basalt slate is a type of cast basalt tile made from natural basalt stone. It is formed by melting basalt rock at a temperature of more than 1200°C and then casting it into molds in a hexagonal shape.
Hexagonal cast basalt slate is used in various industries such as mining, construction, and transportation. It is ideal for lining pipework, chutes, bunkers, cyclones, and hoppers. Common applications include:
Hexagonal cast basalt slate is a durable and cost-effective material suitable for a wide range of industrial applications where high wear resistance, chemical resistance, and thermal stability are required.
In terms of maintenance, the hexagonal cast stone slabs' resistance to pollution and ease of cleaning make their maintenance costs relatively low. Due to their high surface hardness and resistance to scratches, they can be maintained in good condition and functionality with simple cleaning during daily use. Additionally, the durability and anti-aging properties of hexagonal cast stone slabs mean that their maintenance cycles can be long, further reducing long-term operating costs.
However, the limitation of hexagonal cast stone slabs lies in their sensitivity to impact. Although they are hard, they may experience brittle fracture under severe impacts. Therefore, appropriate buffering and protective measures need to be considered in design and construction to mitigate this risk. Moreover, due to their heavy weight, special support structures may be required for certain applications.
Despite these limitations, the comprehensive performance of hexagonal cast stone slabs makes them a preferred material in many industrial applications.
Provides tight installation patterns with minimal gaps and maximum lining coverage.
Outstanding protection against abrasion from coal, ore, clinker, slag and ash.
Excellent resistance to acids, alkalis and aggressive industrial environments.
Reduces maintenance downtime and significantly lowers replacement costs.

Other specifications of cast steel pipe lined with basalt can be manufactured according to customer technical requirements. Suitable for large-diameter basalt lining steel pipes with a nominal diameter greater than 800mm. Generally, according to the running status of the pipeline, different cement is used to fix the basalt brick inside the finished steel pipe to complete the basalt lining steel pipe. Its advantages are good wear resistance, wide range of use, basically not limited by the size of the pipeline and low cost of pipeline installation.
