GlasPave® paving mats are a unique combination of fiberglass mesh embedded into high performance polyester mats. The non-woven matrix structure of GlasPave® paving mats allows for an asphalt binder to penetrate and fill voids within the fabric to limit moisture infiltration into a pavement structure. The fiberglass matrix in a GlasPave® paving mat coated with an elastomeric polymer provides significantly greater tensile strength at low strain when compared to conventional paving fabrics and other paving mats.
GlasPave® paving mats' geosynthetic, non-woven polyester matrix enables an asphalt binder to fully penetrate and fill voids within the matrix. This limits the infiltration of surface moisture into the granular layers of a pavement structure, ultimately preserving the strength of these layers. The matrix design also promotes a quick, strong bond with a variety of asphaltic tack coats. And like the GlasGrid® asphalt reinforcement system, the GlasPave® mat performs well even in the harshest environments.
