Fiberglass geogrid
Fiberglass geogrid is a mesh-like structural material manufactured through a specific weaving process using fiberglass. It undergoes a special coating treatment to protect the fiberglass and enhance its overall performance, making it a geosynthetic composite material.
Product Introduction
The main component of glass fiber is silicon oxide, which is an inorganic material with extremely stable physical and chemical properties. It has high strength, modulus, high wear resistance, excellent cold resistance, and no long-term creep; Good thermal stability; Improve the load-bearing capacity of asphalt mixtures. Due to the special modified asphalt coating on the surface, it has dual composite properties, greatly improving the wear resistance and shear capacity of the geogrid.
Characteristics
1、High tensile strength and low elongation — Fiberglass geogrid, made from fiberglass, exhibits exceptional deformation resistance with a fracture elongation rate of less than 3%.
2、Resistance to long-term creep — As a reinforcing material, creep resistance, or the ability to withstand deformation under sustained loads, is crucial. Fiberglass does not undergo creep, guaranteeing long-term performance stability for the product.
3、Thermal stability — Fiberglass boasts a melting temperature exceeding 1000°C, ensuring the thermal stability of fiberglass geogrids during paving operations.
4、Compatibility with asphalt mixtures — The material applied to fiberglass geogrids during post-treatment is specifically designed for asphalt mixtures, ensuring each fiber is thoroughly coated and highly compatible with asphalt. This guarantees that the fiberglass geogrid remains securely bonded within the asphalt layer, without separating from the asphalt mixture.
5、Physical and chemical stability — Fiberglass geogrids, coated with special post-treatment agents, are resistant to various forms of physical wear, chemical erosion, biological degradation, and climate changes, preserving their performance over time.
6、Aggregate interlocking and confinement — The mesh structure of fiberglass geogrids allows aggregates in asphalt concrete to penetrate and interlock mechanically. This confinement restricts aggregate movement, enabling asphalt mixtures to achieve enhanced compaction, increased load-bearing capacity, superior load transfer performance, and reduced deformation under load.
Application
1、It is suitable for reinforcing the roadbeds and pavements of various highways, railways, and airports.
2、Suitable for permanent foundation reinforcement of large parking lots and dock cargo yards.
3、Suitable for slope protection of railways and highways.
4、Applicable for culvert reinforcement.
5、It is suitable for secondary reinforcement of soil slopes that have already been reinforced with unidirectional tensile geogrids, further strengthening the soil slopes and preventing soil erosion.
6、Reinforcement of mines and tunnels.
