High-Performance Polyester Crack-Resistant Fabric – Advanced Solution for Crack Prevention and Reinforcement

What Is High-Performance Polyester Crack-Resistant Fabric？

High-performance polyester crack-resistant fabric is a geosynthetic reinforcement material designed to prevent reflective cracking in asphalt and concrete pavements. Made from high-tenacity polyester (PET) fibers, it features excellent tensile strength, dimensional stability, and thermal compatibility with asphalt.

This fabric is commonly used in road overlays, highways, airport runways, and bridge decks. It delays crack propagation, enhances pavement durability, and reduces long-term maintenance costs.

Key Technical Specifications:

• Material: High-tenacity polyester (PET)

• Tensile Strength: ≥ 50–200 kN/m

• Elongation at Break: ≤ 4%

• Mass per Unit Area: 120–250 g/m²

• Melting Point: ≥ 250°C

• Asphalt Absorption: ≥ 1.0 L/m²

• Coating: Bitumen or polymer for better asphalt bonding

Applications of High-Performance Polyester Crack-Resistant Fabric

The High-Performance Polyester Crack-Resistant Fabric is commonly used in pavement, road construction, bridge decks, and foundation stabilization projects. Some of the primary applications include:

Pavement and Road Construction: Provides reinforcement for pavement layers, road foundations, and subgrades, preventing cracks and deformation caused by heavy traffic and environmental stress.

Bridge Decks: Used to reinforce bridge decks and overpasses, preventing crack propagation and enhancing the structural integrity of these critical infrastructure components.

Asphalt Overlay: It can be applied as a reinforcement layer beneath asphalt overlays to prevent cracking and fatigue in asphalt pavement.

Foundation Stabilization: Used in foundation stabilization applications, particularly for slabs, basements, and other foundations, to prevent cracks due to settlement or thermal movement.

Waterproofing Applications: Applied in dam, landfill, and pond liner projects to prevent water infiltration and cracking of protective layers.

 

 

It has good vertical permeability, can effectively block the loss of soil particles, ensure the smooth flow of water, and maintain the stability of soil structure. When laid between different soil layers, it can effectively prevent material mixing, reduce uneven settlement, and form a flexible protective layer for engineering structures.

 

The material is light and soft and easy to cut. It can be quickly laid on complex base surfaces, adapt to various terrain conditions, and significantly improve construction efficiency. Materials such as polypropylene give it the ability to resist chemical corrosion, mildew and UV rays, and maintain stable functions during long-term use.
