POMPANO BEACH, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 30, 2022 / Basanite, Inc. (OCTQB:BASA) ("Basanite" or the "Company") announces that it has entered into a Distributor Agreement with Basalt Fiber Products, LLC ("BFP"), under which BFP will be a regional stocking distributor in the Midwest of Basanite's composite products for the construction industry, including BasaFlex™ (basalt fiber reinforced polymer rebar); BasaLinks™ (prefabricated reinforcement components); and BasaMix™ (fine denier chopped basalt fibers).
BFP's initial order included more than one hundred thousand feet of BasaFlex™, one ton of BasaMix™, and additional select reinforcement components. This order is the first in an expected series of orders, as BFP sets out to address what it anticipates will be a brisk demand for Basanite's green, corrosion-proof, lightweight products for reinforcing concrete structures.
BFP is an equipment and building supplies distributor based in Westland, Michigan, specializing in the distribution and wholesaling of building materials. The addition of Basanite products to its product line enables BFP to offer its customers these newly available, non-corrosive options for concrete reinforcement. BFP's primary customer base is located throughout the Midwest, with a core in Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. These locations experience extensive corrosion from the winter use of salt on bridges and roadways, where Basanite's corrosion-proof products represent an excellent alternative to steel reinforcement.
Steve Carbeck, President and CEO of BFP, stated "We look forward to working with the Basanite team, especially CTO Fred Tingberg, as we grow our customer base, gain necessary approvals, support existing applications, and pioneer new ones for Basanite's low carbon footprint, sustainable, time-has-come products."
Fred Tingberg, Chief Technology Officer of Basanite, stated "We are excited to work with BFP as Basanite expands its footprint into the Midwest region. We believe the word is spreading about the benefits and timeliness of our products for the construction industry. We look forward to continuing our marketing and regulatory approval activities with commercial partners like BFP."
About BasaFlex™: BasaFlex™, a composite reinforcement bar or "rebar," is a state-of-the-art, sustainable alternative to steel in concrete reinforcement. BasaFlex™ is engineered to add intrinsic value in a concrete structure by eliminating corrosion problems associated with typical steel reinforcement, saving both time and money over the lifecycle of a concrete structure. BasaFlex™ has a 100-year design life, is non-corrosive, weighs just 25 percent of steel, but has a 2.5 times greater tensile strength. It is also transparent to magnetic fields, radar frequencies and other electro-magnetic radiated energy and both electrically and thermally non-conductive. It is easy to use and much safer to handle on the job site. Because of its core advantages and competitive price point, Basanite believes BasaFlex™ will become the construction industry's preferred choice for concrete reinforcement.
About BasaMesh™: BasaMesh™ is a line of basalt geogrid mesh rolls, intended to replace welded wire mesh (steel) and other fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) grids or mesh. It is designed for secondary and temperature shrinkage reinforcement. BasaMesh™ is an excellent choice to work in conjunction with BasaFlex™ rebar and/or BasaMix™ chopped fibers for a total reinforcement program.
About BasaMix™: BasaMix™ is pre-packaged fine denier basalt fibers, available in various chopped sizes; designed to help absorb the stresses associated with early aged plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking, as well as providing an increased toughness for enhanced reinforcement in Slab on Grade (SOG) and Precast elements. BasaMix™ also serves in a "system approach" for optimum performance of a concrete element when used in conjunction with BasaFlex™ rebar.
Basanite, Inc. (OTCQB:BASA), through its wholly owned subsidiary Basanite Industries, LLC, is a manufacturer and developer of a range of environmentally friendly, high-performance basalt fiber composite products used by the construction industry. Superior to traditional steel elements, Basanite's sustainable products are non-corrosive, lighter, stronger and longer lasting. For more information, please visit www.BasaniteIndustries.com.

On Wednesday, the Fed bumped up interest rates again, its third 75-basis point hike since June, and signaled that there could be two more such hikes by the end of this year. The conventional wisdom has the Fed acting properly, and aggressively, in an attempt to counter inflation raging at 40-year high levels. But conventional wisdom isn’t always right – and we can learn a lot by consulting the contrarians. Few top investors are more contrarian than Cathie Wood. The founder and manager of ARK Inv

Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, have been at odds with the Royals ever since they announced their "Megxit" from England in 2020.

Instead, the EV stock is likely falling as the broader market responds to soaring inflation and the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes. Investors are getting increasingly concerned about the potential for a global recession, and that sentiment is likely contributing to Nio's share price decline today. The stock fell by as much as 4.9% today and was down by 2.5% as of 11:09 a.m. ET.
