ACE XP™ Surface Tech's aramid fiber reinforcement, engineered to significantly increase the tensile strength and structural modulus, enhancing durability, boosting crack resistance, and extending the lifespan of asphalt pavements up to 50%.
Ensured Performance: Adherence to ASTM D8395-23 means you can trust that ACE XP™ meets stringent dosing requirements of 65 grams/tonne and effectiveness in asphalt mixtures. It's a guarantee of consistent, high-quality reinforcement.
Through extensive research and field validation, the industry has established 65 grams of aramid fiber per tonne of asphalt mix as the optimal dosage for achieving the full benefits of aramid reinforcement. This precise amount, as supported by ASTM D8395-23, ensures:
ACE XP™ fibers are uniformly dispersed directly into the asphalt mix at the asphalt plant, forming a three-dimensional network that acts like a microscopic rebar. This seamless integration requires no changes to your Job Mix Formula (JMF) or volumetrics, and importantly, demands no alterations to your standard paving installation practices. This internal network effectively redistributes stress, prevents crack propagation, and significantly improves the overall mechanical properties of the asphalt, all while maintaining your existing operational efficiency.
Our ACE XP™ aramid fibers deliver of long life performance advantages.
Increased Tensile Strength & Structural Modulus: ACE XP™ significantly boosts the asphalt's ability to resist pulling forces and deformation, leading to a stronger, more stable pavement structure. This enhanced mechanical performance is critical for handling heavy traffic loads and environmental stresses.
Superior Crack Resistance: ACE XP™ provides exceptional resistance to both reflective cracking (from underlying pavement issues) and fatigue cracking, extending the life of your asphalt by mitigating common failure points.
Enhanced Durability & Rutting Resistance: The aramid fibers create a tougher, more cohesive asphalt mix that stands up to constant wear and tear, reducing rutting and deformation even under extreme conditions.
Extended Pavement Lifespan: By addressing the root causes of pavement degradation, ACE XP™ dramatically prolongs the service life of your roads, runways, and surfaces, leading to fewer repairs and lower lifecycle costs.
Significant Cost Savings: Longer-lasting pavements mean less frequent maintenance interventions and rehabilitations, translating into substantial long-term savings for project owners and taxpayers.
ASTM Standard: The precision dosing of aramid fiber in asphalt is backed by ASTM Standard D8395-2023, which standardizes a dose of 65 grams/tonne for aramid fibers in asphalt mixtures.
Precision Dosing: Our precision dosing equipment ensures accurate and consistent integration of ACE XP™ into your asphalt mix, with a daily report, guaranteeing performance without waste or variability.
Environmental Sustainability: ACE XP™ is 100% recyclable, EPD Certtified and offers offering a sustainalbe alternative to traditional reinforcement methods like paving fabrics, and geogrids which often end up in landfills.
