Mirafi MPM Series are glass fiber paving mats, that are integrally formed by intimately bonding bundles of glass fibers to a nonwoven paving fabric. This integrally formed paving mat combines the excellent reinforcing properties of glass filaments with the liquid asphalt retention capacity of a bonded light weight nonwoven paving fabric.
Mirafi MPM Series Paving Composites mitigate crack reflections for low to medium severities. Performance achieved through installation of a layer of the Mirafi MPM is equivalent to the performance seen in 2 to 4 inches of asphalt. They increase traffic capacity for curb constrained pavements (MPM50 only), and are suitable for full width overlay, local patching, and joint repair. Mirafi MPM prevents water from penetrating into the road sub structure and has a high re-bonding potential due to high tack coat application rates. They provide provide uniform bonding between old and new asphalt layers to resist delamination where moving asphalt mixes are used. The Mirafi MPM is easy to install on both milled surfaces, and on roads with curves and can be milled with conventional milling machines, and if fully saturated during installation is recyclable.
