Pavement

Pavement products include a selection of nonwoven geotextiles that, together with proper asphaltic inclusion, offers water-penetration resistance, crack-reflection retardation, and pavement life extension for asphalt overlay applications. Separately, TerrraTex® N14E provides stress release between concrete layers. All listed geotextiles are composed of high-quality polypropylene resin. The overlay geotextiles include carbon black while TerraTex® N14E incorporates Hals (both inclusions inhibit UV degradation).
