The brochure calls it a semi-rigid product: high tensile strength in both directions, low elongation, and resistance to high and low temperature, ageing and corrosion. The coating, described as a modified asphalt, is there to bond with the asphalt mix and to protect the glass.
Typical jobs in the text are reflection cracks over old asphalt or concrete, joints between new and old pavement, and shrinkage cracks in a semi-rigid base.
What the brochure emphasises
- High tensile strength, low elongation.
- Heat resistance suited to asphalt paving, as stated.
- Coated for bond and for protection of the glass.
Uses named in the brochure
- Overlays on old asphalt, to limit existing defects reflecting through.
- Concrete pavements converted to a composite section.
- Widening joints and other places where settlement differs.
- Soft subgrades, where the brochure also claims a drainage and consolidation benefit.
- New roads with a semi-rigid base that can shrink and crack.
- Airfields, embankments, riverbanks and sand-control works are also named.
