This article presents the flexural behaviour of basalt fiber reinforced polymer epoxy composites. The natural basalt fiber is reinforced with filler material such as Tungsten Carbide of different proportion like 2%, 4%, 6% and 8 wt. %. Total 5 composition specimen was considered for experimental work. A Vaccum bag pressure method is used to fabricate the laminates. The addition 2wt. % of tungsten carbide filler material shows excellent flexural properties compared to other combination of basalt fiber and filler ratio. It’s clearly reveled the, the addition of filler material shows a better results than the without filler filled epoxy composites. In conclusion, the results highlighted the importance of incorporation filler material with results to flexural behaviour of laminates.
