Product Description
Basalt Mesh Fabric is a high-performance pavement and basement reinforcement product. Utilizing acid and alkali resistant Basalt Continuous Filaments (BCF) and an advanced weaving process, this mesh fabric substrate is brine set and coated with asphalt or polymers to provide superior reinforcement.
Specifically designed for road and highway pavements, Basalt mesh fabrics extend pavement life by significantly reducing reflective cracking caused by traffic loading, aging, and temperature cycling. By using Basalt reinforcing mesh, the service life of pavements can be extended between repairs, and the required thickness of asphalt concrete can be reduced by up to 20%.
