FORTIS Asphalt Sami

FORTITEX Asphalt Sami is two-layer geocomposite material consisting of glass rovings  or basalt rovings or polyester or PVA and PP/PET nonwoven. Membrane effect is the key feature of FORTITEX Asphalt Sami.

• • Reinforcement

FORTITEX Asphalt Sami geocomposite allows to increase total elasticity modulus of the road pavement, and redistributes transport loadings.

• • Stress relief

The differential stresses are minimized between substrate and new overlay, thus stress is prevented from concentrating and migrating upward to the surface as a crack.

• • Retarding of wheel track rutting

Researches show that when using FORTITEX Asphalt Sami the rutting appears two times slower as a result of loads redistribution and increased road pavement performance.

• • Membrane effect

Nonvowen impregnated with bitumen during the installation creates the membrane, which prevents water and oxygen intrusion into lower layers of road pavement.
