25 Years of Successful Project Use
2 Layer Composite Interlayer Product
3 Functions; Reinforcement, Stress-relief and Waterproofing
- One of a range of Tensar of asphalt interlayer products – offering the right products for specific problems
- AR-GN serves three functions of reinforcement (load transfer), stress relief and interlayer barrier (waterproofing)
- Controls cracking in asphalt to extend pavement life
Overview
Tensar AR-GN is a composite asphalt interlayer product, comprising a stiff high-profile grid thermally-bonded to a fabric that together provide the triple interlayer functions of reinforcement, stress absorption (SAMI) and interlayer barrier (waterproofing) [TO1] once saturated with bitumen during installation.
Reinforcement
Typically installed under the asphalt binder course or the asphalt base course layers, the Tensar AR-GN interlayer’s high-profile grid mechanically interlocks with the asphalt layers to provide reinforcement-restricting lateral movement of the asphalt matrix.
