3 Functions in 1 Product

2 Products to Choose From

285 LB/IN Max Strength for GP50

Advanced hybrid geosynthetic paving material
Significantly greater tensile strength compared to other paving mats
Effective moisture barrier - resists rot, mildew and chemical degradation
Reduces the amount of AC tack coat required compared to other fabrics
Fully millable and recyclable after its service life

GlasPave® paving mats are a unique combination of fiberglass mesh embedded into high performance polyester mats. The non-woven matrix structure of GlasPave paving mats allows for an asphalt binder to penetrate and fill voids within the fabric to limit moisture infiltration into a pavement structure. The fiberglass matrix in a GlasPave paving mat coated with an elastomeric polymer provides significantly greater tensile strength at low strain when compared to conventional paving fabrics and other paving mats.

GlasPave® is a U.S. registered trademark of Saint-Gobain ADFORS. Other foreign trademarks also apply.

SKUs

GlasPave is available in two SKUs: GP25 and GP50.

Pavement Rehabilitation with Moisture Barrier Protection

GlasPave paving mats' geosynthetic, non-woven polyester matrix enables an asphalt binder to fully penetrate and fill voids within the matrix. This limits the infiltration of surface moisture into the granular layers of a pavement structure, ultimately preserving the strength of these layers. The matrix design also promotes a quick, strong bond with a variety of asphaltic tack coats. And like the GlasGrid® asphalt reinforcement system, the GlasPave paving mesh performs well even in the harshest environments.

Not All Paving Mats Are Created Equal

Unlike polypropylene fabrics, GlasPave paving mesh will neither shrink nor change dimensions when exposed to hot mix asphalt; this prevents premature slippage or loss of bond. Since it requires a smaller amount of hot liquid asphalt to install than most other fabrics, it leaves a smaller carbon footprint. And with its higher tensile strength, GlasPave mats are more durable and less susceptible to on-site installation damage. In fact, testing at the Texas Transportation Institute demonstrates that GlasPave mats outperform other interlayer product types, such as polyester composite grids or glass fiber composite grids.

Easy Installation

A variety of roll lengths allow for faster installation and fewer roll change-outs, while a choice of roll widths allows for easier placement around corners and curves. The additional stiffness of GlasPave paving mats makes them more durable and less prone to on-site installation damage.

Fully Millable and Recyclable

Unlike other interlayer systems, GlasPave paving mesh mats are easily broken up by conventional milling equipment and reusable in other road matting projects as recycled asphalt pavement (RAP). Its main component is silica, a natural substance that is environmentally friendly.
