TenCate Mirafi Geosynthetics MPV, MPG (PGM-G), and MPG4 (PGM-G4) Paving Fabrics
Mirafi® MPV Nonwoven Asphalt Overlay Fabric
Mirafi® MPV nonwoven asphalt overlay fabric forms a membrane that minimizes surface water from penetrating pavement systems and provides a stress relief interlayer which inhibits the growth of reflective cracks. Produced from polypropylene staple fibers, Mirafi® MPV is heat-set to provide a waterproofing barrier.
Mirafi® MPV nonwoven asphalt overlay fabric functions for sealing, stress relief, and adhesive bonding.
Mirafi® MPV-Series prevents penetration of surface water into sub-grade soil. Its stress-relieving interface retards reflective cracking and improves fatigue resistance of new overlay. The MPV nonwoven asphalt overlay fabric is well-suited for different grades of tack coat and is climate-friendly.
Highlights
-
- Penetration - Prevents penetration of surface water into the subgrade
- Stress Relief - Contains a stress-relieving interface that retards reflective cracking
- Fatigue Resistance - Improves fatigue resistance of new overlays
- Weight - Comes in different weights for varying degrees of maintenance needs
- Tack Coat - Well suited for different grades of tack coat, including polymer-modified tack coats
- Weather - Can be used in a wide range of climates
-
- Moisture Barrier - The use of a coating to create an impervious surface
- Reflective Crack Management - The stress reduction from a geosynthetic while the system is in a state of constant deformation or load
- Rehealing - Adhering two different surfaces or materials using an adhesive substrate

TenCate Mirafi® MPG (PGM-G) and MPG4 (PGM-G4)
TenCate Mirafi® MPG (PGM-G) and MPG4 (PGM-G4) are glass filament reinforced paving composites comprised of fiberglass filament yarn incorporated into a nonwoven polypropylene paving fabric. This composite or reinforced paving fabric combines the excellent reinforcing properties of glass filaments with optimum liquid asphalt retention capacity of a mechanically bonded AASHTO nonwoven paving fabric.
TenCate Mirafi® MPG (PGM-G) and MPG4 (PGM-G4) are the solution for pavement engineers. Asphalt reinforcement by high-modulus glass filaments, combined with the sealing and uniform bonding effect of the nonwoven geotextile, provides effective maintenance and prolongs the working life of road structure.
Highlights
-
- Reinforcement - High load-properties at low strain (<3%) appropriate for heavy loaded pavements
- Cost Effectiveness - Suitable for full width overlay, local patch and joint repair
- Sealing - Rain and oxygen cannot penetrate into the road structure
- Longevity - maintenance intervals are considerably extended
- Stress Relief - Retards crack propagation from the old surface to the new overlay
- Adhesive Bonding - Provides uniform bonding between old and new asphalt layers
- Installation - Easily included in asphalt resurfacing projects
- Recycling - Can be milled with conventional milling machines
- Resistance - Chemically resistant to road salt
-
- Reinforcement - The synergistic improvement of a total system's strength created by the introduction of a reinforcing geosynthetic (that is good in tension) into a soil and/or agreggate system (that is good in compression, but poor in tension).
- Reflective Crack Management - The stress reduction from a geosynthetic while the system is in a state of constant deformation or load.
- Moisture Barrier - The use of a coating to create an impervious surface.
- Rehealing - Adhering two different surfaces or materials using an adhesive substrate.
