TenCate Polyfelt® Paving fabrics
TenCate Polyfelt® PGM paving fabric is mechanically bonded, continuous-filament, polypropylene nonwoven with optimum bitumen retention capacity. Polyfelt® PGM is economically more effective than conventional road maintenance methods. It retards reflective cracking of road surfaces by a combination of stress relief and sealing functions, and uniform bonding between the layers.
The benefits of TenCate Polyfelt® PGM at a glance:
- Sealing: Polyfelt® PGM prevents rain water from penetrating into the road structure.
- Stress relief: Minimize the differential stresses between substrate and new overlay. Crack propagation and reflective cracking is therefore reduced.
- Adhesive bonding: Provides uniform bonding between old surface and new asphalt layers.
- Ease of installation: When a laying device is used, Polyfelt® PGM can be installed easily and quickly without any fixing material.
- Recycling: Asphalt layers reinforced with Polyfelt® PGM can be milled easily with conventional methods.
Functionalities of Polyfelt® PGM
Stress Relief
The stress reduction from a geosynthetic while the system is in a state of constant deformation or load.
Sealing
The use of a coating to create an impervious surface.
Typical Applications of Polyfelt® PGM
Pavement Structure Rehabilitation
Our paving geotextiles restores pavement surfaces and improves the new asphalt overlay on highways and roads for extended durabilty and lower maintenance cost.
