Why FORTAfied Asphalt?
FORTAfied asphalt is stronger asphalt.
Benefits of FORTAfied Asphalt
FORTAfied asphalt is stronger asphalt, and builds tougher roads that are both safer, and more fiscally responsible. Today, more than ever, using time and material resources responsibly is everyone's goal. FORTA-FI is uniquely capable of reinforcing all asphalt mixtures allowing for either less asphalt or longer life, which translates into reduced processing, reduced labor, reduced time and reduced logistics thereby reducing overall project cost.
Stronger, Longer-Lasting Performance
Realize immediate cost savings due to less asphalt being required to meet your design objectives, or savings down the road by extending the life of the asphalt.
- Cost-effective – superior performance with less asphalt thickness
- Extended life – reduces rutting and cracking
- 3D reinforcement – provides 3D (isotropic) reinforcement throughout the treated layers
- Material properties – improves tensile strength, resilient modulus, Marshall Stability and Flow, and others
FORTAfied Asphalt
As a truck stops, the aramid fibers spread the force throughout the treated layer, reducing stress and fatigue where the tires meet the road.
As a truck stops, the aramid fibers spread the force throughout the treated layer, reducing stress and fatigue where the tires meet the road.
Non-FORTAfied Asphalt
As a truck stops, the force drives down into asphalt and supporting layers, causing stress and fatigue where the tires meet the road.
