Paving Fabrics

Extend the life of asphalt with professional paving geotextiles

Paving fabric or geotextile, is a waterproof barrier between old and new asphalt applications. This barrier retards reflective cracking and extends the life of the new pavement system. Simply apply it using a liquid asphaltic tack coat. Ferguson Waterworks distributes comprehensive pavement geosynthetics including paving fabric, mats, grids, and geocomposites from the industry’s top vendors. Call today for high-quality solutions backed by premium customer service and competitive prices.

What is the difference between paving fabric and needle-punched nonwoven fabric?

Ounce for ounce, paving fabric delivers more tensile and tear strength than most needle-punched nonwovens when it comes to endurance in heavy load applications. Furthermore, they outperform most needle-punch nonwovens in resisting installation damage, which results in a longer service life.

Mirafi® MPV Series

This well-tested line of nonwoven paving fabrics is manufactured from polypropylene staple fibers. Construction professionals and civil engineers use it specifically for asphalt overlay applications. This is because it creates a larger, more uniform surface area for absorbing a large amount of asphalt liquid. When saturated with asphalt liquid on site, the paving fabric forms a reliable stress-absorbing membrane and moisture barrier for the pavement – even long after cracks reflect through the system. Similarly to most geosynthetic products, it is inert to biological degradation and resistant to naturally encountered chemicals, alkalis, and acids.

Petromat® Series

Pavement fabrics from Petromat encompass a few of the industry’s most premium moisture barriers and stress-absorbing interlayers. Professionals depend on this series to prevent reflective cracking and to secure long-lasting pavement. Select from Petromat Original, Plus-White, and Enviro.

Petromat Original

Double the road’s service life and save an average of $50/lane mile with the tried-and-true Petromat Original paving mat. One roll width covers a lane in one pass. As a result, pavement contractors reduce installation time and labor costs.

Petromat Plus-White

One of the industry’s most versatile paving fabrics, Petromat Plus-White yields consistent installation. No matter if it is installed day or night, rain or shine. Its light reflective properties remain up to 50°F cooler than dark paving fabrics. Furthermore, it is compliant with AASHTO/ NTPEP paving standards, offers optimal elongation for placement directly onto milled surfaces, and premium flexibility for wrinkle-free application.

Petromat Enviro

This patent-pending technology features the strength properties of AASHTO M288, installs directly onto a milled surface without a leveling course, and contains no fiberglass. In addition, it is engineered to mill into small pieces to facilitate easy end-of-life recycling.

Reflectex®

This cutting-edge concrete pavement interlayer system is comprised of Reflectex solar reflective bond breaker geotextile and ProGrip™ adhesive. The solar reflective properties reduce the surface temperature up to 50ºF. As a result, it eliminates the need to cool the surface with water and consequently provides uniform curing. In addition, the ProGrip adhesive replaces the traditional nail-down installation method, reducing installation time and generating significant cost savings. Not to mention, it helps decrease traffic disruption.

Petrotac® Self-Adhesive Paving Membrane

Petrotac is a cost-effective self-adhesive paving membrane geotextile that protects pavements from moisture damage. This is accomplished by providing a stress-absorbing interlayer to decrease the development of cracking over time. It is used to treat local pavement distress, including joints and cracks, as well as to create a moisture barrier on bridge decks. Extend the life of any paved areas, including highways, parking lots, and runways with this AASHTO/NTPEP-compliant pavement fabric.

GeoTac

Pavement and construction professionals rely on GeoTac to both prevent and repair pavement cracks. This peel-and-stick waterproofing geomembrane stops water penetration. Furthermore, it provides a stress-relief interlayer that retards reflective cracking. Use GeoTac for bridge decks, paving projects, waterproofing, and more.

What is paving fabric?

Paving fabrics are composed of thermally bonded, continuous, polypropylene filaments. During the fiber extrusion process, thousands of tough, superfine continuous filaments pass through a patented “pre-stretch” stage. Then they are directionally oriented into a thermally and mechanically bonded sheet. As a result, this patented production technique is one of the main reasons for its unique properties and uniform quality in comparison to other geotextile fabrics.
