Mirafi® MPV Nonwoven Asphalt Overlay Fabric

Mirafi® MPV nonwoven asphalt overlay fabric forms a membrane that minimizes surface water from penetrating pavement systems and provides a stress relief interlayer which inhibits the growth of reflective cracks. Produced from polypropylene staple fibers, Mirafi® MPV is heat-set to provide a waterproofing barrier.

Mirafi® MPV nonwoven asphalt overlay fabric functions for sealing, stress relief, and adhesive bonding.

Mirafi® MPV-Series prevents penetration of surface water into sub-grade soil. Its stress-relieving interface retards reflective cracking and improves fatigue resistance of new overlay. The MPV nonwoven asphalt overlay fabric is well-suited for different grades of tack coat and is climate-friendly.

Highlights

    • Penetration - Prevents penetration of surface water into the subgrade
    • Stress Relief - Contains a stress-relieving interface that retards reflective cracking
    • Fatigue Resistance - Improves fatigue resistance of new overlays
    • Weight - Comes in different weights for varying degrees of maintenance needs
    • Tack Coat - Well suited for different grades of tack coat, including polymer-modified tack coats
    • Weather - Can be used in a wide range of climates
    • Moisture Barrier - The use of a coating to create an impervious surface
    • Reflective Crack Management - The stress reduction from a geosynthetic while the system is in a state of constant deformation or load
    • Rehealing - Adhering two different surfaces or materials using an adhesive substrate
  • Roadway / Railway Construction Pavement Restoration

TenCate Mirafi® MPG (PGM-G) and MPG4 (PGM-G4)

TenCate Mirafi® MPG (PGM-G) and MPG4 (PGM-G4) are glass filament reinforced paving composites comprised of fiberglass filament yarn incorporated into a nonwoven polypropylene paving fabric. This composite or reinforced paving fabric combines the excellent reinforcing properties of glass filaments with optimum liquid asphalt retention capacity of a mechanically bonded AASHTO nonwoven paving fabric.

TenCate Mirafi® MPG (PGM-G) and MPG4 (PGM-G4) are the solution for pavement engineers. Asphalt reinforcement by high-modulus glass filaments, combined with the sealing and uniform bonding effect of the nonwoven geotextile, provides effective maintenance and prolongs the working life of road structure.

Highlights

    • Reinforcement - High load-properties at low strain (<3%) appropriate for heavy loaded pavements
    • Cost Effectiveness - Suitable for full width overlay, local patch and joint repair
    • Sealing - Rain and oxygen cannot penetrate into the road structure
    • Longevity - maintenance intervals are considerably extended
    • Stress Relief - Retards crack propagation from the old surface to the new overlay
    • Adhesive Bonding - Provides uniform bonding between old and new asphalt layers
    • Installation - Easily included in asphalt resurfacing projects
    • Recycling - Can be milled with conventional milling machines
    • Resistance - Chemically resistant to road salt
    • Reinforcement - The synergistic improvement of a total system's strength created by the introduction of a reinforcing geosynthetic (that is good in tension) into a soil and/or agreggate system (that is good in compression, but poor in tension).
    • Reflective Crack Management - The stress reduction from a geosynthetic while the system is in a state of constant deformation or load.
    • Moisture Barrier - The use of a coating to create an impervious surface.
    • Rehealing - Adhering two different surfaces or materials using an adhesive substrate.
