Surface-EXT
Surface-EXT is an alkali and acid resistant glass fiber specifically designed to extend the life of micro surfacing and slurry seal pavement applications.
Surface-EXT improves pavement flexibility and long-term durability. This treatment is extremely easy to use and has a specific gravity similar to that of the aggregate. This allows it to disperse completely and evenly throughout the slurry mix. The glass fiber can be used at any dosage, to suit any project need.
FORTA Surface-EXT is used in slurry seal and micro surfacing pavement applications. Surface-EXT has been designed to arrange into a matrix in the mixture, which helps link the asphalt to the aggregate giving the cured mixture additional durability. It assures excellent work-ability while maintaining reliable long-term performance. The use of Surface-EXT typically does not require a change to the mix design.
* Also available as roving which can be easily chopped on-site/on-demand with special equipment available from FORTA®. If purchased as roving, the rovings are protected by a shrink-wrap polyethylene film, open at the top which should not be removed when the product is in use. Rovings are packed on pallets.
Surface-EXT
FORTA® Surface-EXT™ fibers are incorporated directly into the slurry surfacing mixing system with the specially designed FORTA Ranger dispensing system. Use of the Ranger system assures trouble-free and equal dispersion of the fiber in the mix. The recommended dosage is 0.15% to .4% of the dry aggregate weight; however, other dosing amounts have been used for specific mix designs.
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.
FORTA® Surface-EXT™ fibers are supplied in convenient 40 pound bags.*
* Also available as roving which can be easily chopped on-site/on-demand with special equipment available from FORTA. If purchased as roving, the rovings are protected by a shrink-wrap polythene film, open at the top which should not be removed when the product is in use. Rovings are packed on pallets.
*Our fibers are manufactured with high Zirconium content in compliance with ASTM C1666/C 1666/M-07 and EN 15422.
