Extreme Durability
FORTA‑FI's robust fiber network significantly enhances pavement resilience against environmental and mechanical stresses, extending pavement life by up to 50% over traditional mixes.
Asphalt Fiber Reinforcement
Nothing Outperforms FORTA® Asphalt Fibers
FORTA‑FI is a cutting-edge blend of synthetic fibers engineered to significantly enhance the performance of asphalt mixes in new construction and rehabilitation projects.
What Are FORTA‑FI Asphalt Fibers?
Composed of aramid and polyolefin fibers, FORTA‑FI is specifically designed to improve asphalt properties such as tensile strength, resilient modulus, flow, and Marshall stability. Aramid fibers are especially notable for their ability to withstand extreme temperatures without melting, providing unmatched strength and durability.
FORTA‑FI fibers distribute uniformly and completely within the asphalt mix, making them suitable for all working temperatures and compatible with both batch and drum plants.
Reinforcement Objective
FORTA‑FI provides three-dimensional reinforcement within asphalt pavements. By creating a robust internal fiber network, it effectively controls and reduces thermal, reflective, and fatigue cracking while mitigating rutting and raveling, extending pavement life, enhancing durability, and delivering significant cost savings through reduced maintenance.
Addition & Mixing
FORTA‑FI mixes well in batch and drum plants without compromising production efficiency, added manually with premeasured bags or through automated delivery systems like FORTA's Voyager, Big Shot®, or Ranger. The recommended dosage is 1 pound of FORTA‑FI per ton of asphalt mix; contact our engineering team for project-specific design assistance.
Applications
- Airports
- Streets
- Highways
- Interstates
- Industrial parking lots
- SMA & OGFC mixes
