FiberMat

The reinforcement process is simple; after cleaning and preparing the surface, a specially designed applicator sandwiches chopped fiberglass strand between two layers of asphalt emulsion, followed by a 6, 9, or 12.5mm (or combination) aggregate.

Uses:

• Absorption of stresses within the pavement structure
• Re-stabilizing and strengthening resurfacing projects
• Crack inhibiting and delaying reflective crack propagation

Benefits:

• Fast application process
• Open to traffic shortly after completion
• Reduces, repairs and resists cracking
• Increases tensile strength and flexibility
• Bonds well to concrete and asphalt
• Economical

FiberMat Type-A Stress Absorbing Membrane (SAM)

For a superior surface treatment, ACP installs the FiberMat Stress Absorbing Membrane. By sandwiching chopped glass fibers between two layers of a special polymer-modified asphalt emulsion, followed by a 6mm, 9mm or 12.5mm aggregate, FiberMat Type A achieves:

• Significant tensile strength
• Flexible enough to absorb movements in the pavement structure
• Delayed pavement cracking
• Delayed reflective cracking
• 300% reduction in wheel-track cracking

In addition to providing these great benefits, the FiberMat SAM application process is very fast. Thanks to a controlled breaking system, roads that have been enhanced with Type-A FiberMat can be opened 15 minutes after completion, regardless of temperature or humidity.

FiberMat Type-B Stress Absorbing Membrane Interlayer (SAMI)

FiberMat Type-B shares all the same great stress-absorbing characteristics as Type-A but is specifically designed to be used in conjunction with a wearing course. Both provide superior protection against cracking on the road surface but FibreMat Type-B functions best beneath a layer of asphalt or other road course.
