The scaly material represents the loose weight consisting from microthin scales with the linear size up to 3 mm, and is intended for use as stuff protective antirust coverings, for manufacturing heat-insulated composition materials and products, plates for hydroponic cultivation of plants and coverings of roofing materials. A material nonflammable and not toxic, received from rocks of type of basalts.

Coverings on the basis of a basalt scaly material can be applied for antirust protection of steel of courts, cars, agricultural machinery, machine-building technics and the simple equipment owing to them corrosion resistance and resistance to abrasive damage, to sharp decrease in speed of penetration of water and corrosion ions through a covering to a steel surface.
