A MORE DURABLE REINFORCEMENT FOR ROAD AND RUNWAY COVERINGS
Basalt Geo-Mesh offers a number of advantages over metal or glass fiber used for pavement reinforcement:
Ecologically safe
Withstands very high temperature of molten asphalt
Very high strength and durability
Key Characteristics:
Alkali-resistant and chemically inert
Corrosion-resistant
Will not damage tires if exposed to road surface
2.7 times lighter than metallic mesh, for easier handling and reduced transport costs
Up to 47% increase in asphalt surface life on roads and highways.
Typical uses for Basalt Geo-Mesh:
Basalt Geo-Mesh is ideal for soil and embankment stabilization
Land-fill coverings due to its high strength and environmental and ecological safety.
Advantages and benefits
Higher mechanical strength and modulus, more resistive to chemically aggressive environments than E-glass mesh.
Lower cost and better mechanical properties than mesh made of S glass fiber.
The melting point of basalt fibers is 1450°C. Typical paving temperatures will not cause any loss of strength or distortion which may occur with synthetic material.
Lower application temperature than for synthetic material that is especially important for cold geographical locations.
Lower elongation before break than for synthetic materials.
Easily milled using typical milling equipment. Does not stretch and pull as polymer meshes.
No special equipment is required to install the reinforcement.
Basalt mesh is environment friendly and based on naturally occurring material that is found worldwide.
