Winter is just around the corner, and with the annual
freeze-thaw cycle comes everybody's least favorite time of year…pothole
season! Your hometown newspaper will write about them, and the local
television station will do 'on the scene' reports showing them, but why doesn't
someone come up with a better way to fight these pesky potholes? Is there
anything that state and local governments can do to try to win this war against
unsightly and possibly dangerous pavement blow-outs?
FORTA Corporation's high tensile strength fiber for asphalt
three-dimensionally reinforces hot-mix, warm-mix, and patching pavement mixes.
If your roadway, parking lot, or driveway weren't fiber-reinforced during
their initial construction, consider using FORTA-FI PAT® fibers
for your pothole and utility patch repairs. When used in properly cleaned
and prepared repair sections, the polyolefin/aramid blend of fibers provides
added strength and durability to help keep asphalt mix in the hole…where it
belongs. Repeatedly filling the same hole over and over again throughout
the winter is frustrating and dangerous for road maintenance crews. There
are plenty of things on the "to do" list during snow season, so fix
pop-outs right the first time!
The PAT blend of FORTA-FI® is added to
material at the asphalt production plant, at the rate of 1 pound of fiber per 1
ton of asphalt. Producers can now offer their customers a better patching
product. FORTA-FI PAT® fibers can be used in either hot or cold patch
mixes, providing a "Patch Plus Fiber" application to Old Man
Winter's favorite calling card, the dreaded pothole!
Go Stronger…Go Longer with FORTA-FI® high-tensile strength fiber for asphalt!
