Carthage Mills’ FX®–38A/O, FX®–42A/O and FX®–46A/O, when installed on a properly prepared surface and tack coat, improve the performance of asphalt road surfacing and resurfacing up to 50% by reducing the ‘causes’ of overlay fatigue failure. This is accomplished by (a) providing a stress relieving interface to inhibit reflective cracking, (b) improving adhesion strength between layers, and (c) forming an elastic waterproofing membrane between the overlay and underlying pavement. FX®–A/O paving fabrics are also highly recommended for use with chip seal surface treatments. |
