Road performance varies depending on the dynamic constraints and climatic variations to which they are subjected. To slow the progression of events such as reflective cracking or the premature ageing of roads, the NOTEX® GLASS reinforcing geocomposite is an effective and long-lasting solution for :
• Rehabilitation of roads, platforms, paths
• Construction of new roads
• Widening works
NOTEX® GLASS prevents reflective cracking thanks to its high strength, low elongation and its positioning as close as possible to the area at risk. This product is bi-directional, which means that it demonstrates tensile strength in both manufacturing directions. The high strength and reinforcement properties of the NOTEX® GLASS geogrids are due to glass fibre cables combined with a polyester membrane.
NOTEX® GLASS C 100/100 AN benefits from a shrinkage-bending (reflective cracking rate) test report (conducted by CEREMA Autun), which notably demonstrates that the use of NOTEX GLASS C bitumen geogrids measurably slows the appearance of cracks in the event of asphalt-paved roads :
- By +40% compared with a sand asphalt solution
- x 2.8 compared with a 6cm SCAC solution (Semi-Coarse Asphalt Concrete)
