Pave-Aid™

   The Sustainable Solution

Pave-Aid is a synthetic fiber blend formulated to reinforce 100% recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) as well as cold mix asphalt. It significantly improves the rutting resistance of asphalt mixtures containing 100% RAP by providing stiffness to the typically low modulus material.

Applications

Pave-Aid fiber blend is added directly to the asphalt mix during production creating a three-dimensional material reinforcement throughout the entire pavement layer. This reinforcement reduces rutting as well as help control thermal, reflective, and fatigue cracking. Pave-Aid is a cost-effective way to improve the durability and longevity of 100% RAP applications such as low volume roadways, shoulders, and widening & leveling courses. Pave-Aid is an innovative way to help transportation agencies achieve sustainability objectives by increasing the longevity of roadways paved with RAP.

Pave-Aid mixes well in central plants without compromising production. The fibers are added at a rate of one (1) pound of fibers per one (1) ton of asphalt mix. The fibers are added during asphalt production either manually using pre-measured bags or with a fiber delivery system. FORTA® Delivery Systems, such as the Voyager, The Big Shot and The Little Shot, offer effective delivery methods for a variety of pavement applications. Some feeders automatically track and record the amount of fiber fed into the batch for quality assurance.

FORTA Corporation has spent years on engineering research and conducted scores of test projects to develop our unique fiber system. Not only do we manufacture the fibers, but also have created a proven comprehensive process to ensure successful product performance.

  1. Fibers will melt or become plastically deformed during asphalt mix production.
  2. Strands become fibrillated during asphalt mix production.

FORTA® products are warranted to be free of defects in material and meet all quality control standards set by the manufacturer. FORTA Corporation specifically disclaims all other warranties, express or implied. The exclusive remedy for defective product shall be to replace the product or refund the purchase price. No agent or employee of this company is authorized to vary the terms of this warranty notice. FORTA Corporation has no control over the design, production, placement, or testing of the asphalt products in which FORTA® products are incorporated, and therefore FORTA Corporation disclaims liability for the end product.
