Polyfelt® PGM-G

TenCate Polyfelt® Paving reinforced geocomposite

TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G is a high tensile stiffness glass filament reinforced geocomposite. Polyfelt® PGM-G is ideally suited to the maintenance of any major pavement structures.

The benefits of TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G at a glance:

Sealing: Bitumen saturated Polyfelt® PGM-G prevents rain from penetrating into the road structure.
Reinforcement: Polyfelt® PGM-G has high tensile stiffness (elongation of strain <3%) that is highly compatible to the new overlay asphalt surface.
Stress relief: Minimize the differential stresses between substrate and new overlay. Crack propagation and reflective cracking is therefore reduced.
Adhesive bonding: Provide uniform bonding between old surface and new asphalt layers.
Ease of installation: When a laying device is used, Polyfelt® PGM-G can be installed easily and quickly without any fixing material.
Recycling: Asphalt layers reinforced with Polyfelt® PGM-G can be milled easily with conventional methods.

Functionalities of Polyfelt® PGM-G

Reinforcement

The synergistic improvement of a total system’s strength created with a reinforcing geosynthetic (that is good in tension) into a soil and/or aggregate system (that is good in compression but poor in tension) to ensure the stability of structures.

Typical Applications of Polyfelt® PGM-G

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.

Polyfelt® PGM-G - Asphalt Pavement Rehabilitation

India, Tamilnadu

This project consists of strengthening the existing 9 to 12m width road pavement structure to allow excess traffic flow and to decrease the maintenance cost for 20km stretch of the highway.
