- Tensar GlasstexPatch interlayer serves three functions of reinforcement (load transfer), stress relief and waterproofing
- Controls cracking in asphalt to extend pavement life
GlasstexPatch products are composite asphalt interlayer products, designed to control reflective cracking in asphalt overlays. The products are intended for small to medium size applications with small roll sizes that can be manually handled and installed, making them ideally suited for small road repairs; bridging of joints between two types of pavement structures, trench and pothole reinstatements, in immediate proximity to iron manholes, and single crack or joint treatment, prior to overlay. Tensar GlasstexPatch products provide reinforcement, stress relief and moisture barrier functions, as defined by EN 15381.
Tensar GlasstexPatch 660 and 880 are high stress performance mastic interlayers, consisting of a coated glass yarn grid and a glass fabric, integrated in a bitumen membrane. This is topically treated with a protective layer of quartz sand to allow for essential construction traffic during installation. The GlasstexPatch 880 has a self-adhesive underside, which is protected with a peel-off film for handling, allowing it to bond to the supporting pavement surface.
