Abstract <p>This article presents the results of tensile strength and interlayer shear strength assessment of basalt-filled plastics depending on their curing modes. All samples were manufactured using vacuum infusion technology based on epoxy binder (ED-20 resin, isomethyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride as a hardener and methylimidazole as an accelerator). Two types of equipment were used in this work: a standard drying cabinet and an IR heating unit. The curing temperature varied from 120 to 180°C, and the time from 1.5 to 6 h. It was experimentally found that an increase in the curing temperature leads to an increase in the strength properties of basalt-filled plastics by 7.7 and 20.7% under tension and shear, respectively. An increase in the curing time, at the same temperatures, allows increasing the strength of basalt-filled plastic samples and has a positive effect on their long-term resistance to water.</p>
