POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 9, 2024
POMPANO BEACH, Fla., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Basanite Industries, LLC, (hereafter referred to as "Basanite"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Basanite Inc. (OCTQB: BASA) today announced the successful granting of U.S. Patent No. 12,024,885 B2 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The patent was issued providing protection for Basanite's innovative and breakthrough basalt fiber composite rebar BasaFlex™ and its proprietary method of manufacturing.
In May 2021, Basanite announced that the Universite de Sherbrooke in Quebec, Canada displayed through extensive testing, "Best in Class Performance Results," for BasaFlex™ in accordance with CSA S807, FDOT 932-3 and ASTM D7957. The tests were performed at the materials and structures laboratories at the Department of Civil Engineering, under the supervision of Dr. Brahim Benmokrane, NSERC Research Chair Professor in Innovative FRP Reinforcement for Concrete Infrastructure. Ultimately, the test results not only demonstrated that the specific tensile strength of BasaFlex™ is significantly stronger than steel; but also, the overall mechanical and performance attributes of BasaFlex™ place it at the top of the BFRP rebar field. The performance data from the laboratory tests can be found on Basanite's website at: www.basaniteindustries.com in the products section, under BasaFlex™ BFRP Rebar Performance Data.
Because of the successful testing results, on September 13, 2021, Basanite filed an application with the USPTO to establish and protect the intellectual property associated with the Company's product and manufacturing process. The patent was granted to the Company and published on July 2, 2024. The patent is anticipated to expire on September 13, 2041.
