ABGRID GLASS FIBRE GRID

Coated Glass Fibre Geogrid (GF) Composite is manufactured from a glass fibre, knitted, bi-oriented grid, coated with a bituminous solution and combined with a polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) nonwoven (NW) geotextile, bonded to the fibre glass geogrid with a pressure sensitive adhesive.

Applications

  • Designed to provide crack control, pavement reinforcement and to prevent premature road break-up occurring as a result of high axle loads
  • Laid within an asphalt pavement, Abgrid glass fibre grid provides four essential requirements for effective reinforcement; strengthening, sealing bond and stress absorption

Benefits

  • Eliminates reflective cracking, reducing rutting and extending fatigue life of pavements
  • A four times increase in service life due to traffic loads may be obtained, or alternatively a saving up to 30% of pavement thickness can be made
  • By allowing thinner pavements to be designed, asphalt reinforcement geogrids help to minimise environmental impact by reducing the volume of overlay materials
  • Provides high tensile strength at low strain for effective reinforcement
  • Thermally and chemically stable at bitumen mix temperatures
