Bend & Straight
Cast Basalt is a volcanic rock, which is cast in a method similar to that of cast iron. After annealing, it forms a re-crystallized black ceramic of extreme hardness and abrasion resistance. In addition it will withstand temperatures of up to 350 Fahrenheit. Linings made of Cast Basalt are proven to last six to ten times longer than steel, cast iron, ni-hard, etc, depending upon impact exposure.
