Asphalt Fabric Interlayers

PETROMAT® is a nonwoven polypropylene geotextile. When used in combination with an asphalt tack coat, the PETROMAT® system forms an asphalt membrane interlayer with the pavement section.

This layer acts as a barrier to surface water infiltration and limits softening of the subgrade and the freeze-thaw damage, which would otherwise occur. The PETROMAT® membrane also absorbs stress, improving resistance to pavement fatigue and reflective cracking. These combined PETROMAT® functions have been widely used to extend the life of asphalt cement concrete overlays and chip seal surface treatments.
