Polyfabrics introduces Road Tape for road maintenance

News | December 8, 2023 | By:

In the fast-paced world of road construction and maintenance, the need for durable and efficient solutions has never been greater. With a surge in road traffic, the demands on our roadways are increasing exponentially. This is where Polyfabrics steps in with Road Tape – a cutting-edge solution designed to combat the challenges of cracking in hot asphalt applications.

Why Road Tape is essential

As traffic volumes grow, the stress on existing roadways intensifies. This leads to a need for substantial renovation, primarily focused on the uppermost layers of the roads. The good news is that these enhancements, particularly where cracking and joint sealing are concerned, are more cost-effective than constructing new roads. Polyfabrics’ Road Tape offers a simple yet highly effective treatment for these common issues.

Durability meets safety

Roads are known for their varied and challenging conditions. Ensuring safety and durability is paramount, and this is where Road Tape excels. Available in widths from 166 to 500mm, it boasts key features such as waterproofing, puncture, and heat resistance. This makes it not only a reliable choice for road and pavement crack treatment but also ideal for joint sealing and waterproofing applications like basements

Key features of Road Tape

Superior Durability: Designed to withstand the toughest conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Enhanced Safety: Offers excellent skid resistance and visibility, contributing to safer journeys.

Eco-Friendly: Engineered with the environment in mind, reducing the ecological footprint.

Easy Application: Its streamlined installation process ensures efficient project timelines.

Composition and versatility

Made from non-woven polyester geotextile bonded to a bitumen compound polymer, Road Tape is ideal for engineering applications. It resists high temperatures, facilitating direct hot asphalt application, and adheres well to both bitumen and concrete. This makes it an excellent choice for road and bridge treatments, ensuring robust and efficient infrastructure.

Adaptability to climate

Whether dealing with hot, dry conditions or colder climates, Road Tape is your go-to solution. In hot environments, its quick installation, durability against heat, and waterproofing capabilities shine. In colder climates, it effectively tackles frost-related issues, reinforcing roads against diverse weather conditions.
