Fibers/Fabrics


Argosy can provide basalt fiber/fabric, carbon fiber/fabric, glass fiber/fabric, and high silica materials amongst many others used as reinforcements in composite structures and in thermal protection applications.

Basalt fiber/fabrics are made of basalt yarn, which are woven into plain or satin weave fabrics. Our basalt can also be provided in unidirectional and roving forms.  We can also supply basalts in various surface finishes to meet the needs of specific applications.  Basalt fiber's advantage is its non-combustibility, high temperature resistance, thermal insulation, high strength, and its lack of thermal shrinkage.

Carbon fiber/fabric is light in weight and high in strength and can be used in various industries such as aircraft, automotive, industrial, and recreational.  We can supply carbon in woven, tow, and unidirectional forms.

Argosy offers both X-glass fabrics, made of silica yarn, and E-glass fabrics.  E-glass fabric has many unique properties which provide design opportunities for the improvement of existing products and development of new products.  E-glass is high tensile strength, high thermal endurance, low moisture absorption and low cost.


High silica materials are used in high temperature thermal insulation and thermal protection products throughout various industries. High silica materials are used as a replacement for asbestos and are used mainly in the refining, electrical, aerospace, metallurgy, shipbuilding and automotive industries. Argosy offers high silica fiber in different friction products including high silica needle felt and high silica mesh for casting fibers.  We also offer high silica in woven forms for specific applications.


Argosy technicians, design engineers and technical representatives welcome the opportunity to combine their experience and knowledge of these unique properties to provide the superior products required by the industry.
