Polyester Geogrid stitched with ultra-light nonwoven fabric is Geocomposite made from high-modulus polyester polymer geogrid and non-woven fabric all coated with bitumen to achieve a strong bond to the asphalt. The nonwoven simplifies installation and ensures continuous bond between the layers. This excellent adhesion allows Geocomposite to take up and evenly distribute tensile forces, and provide an effective method of preventing reflective cracking in asphalt layers. The good bonding of Geocomposite to the substrate greatly reduces the rucking / pick-up of the geogrid due to the passage of construction / paving machinery as compared to stiffer products having ‘roll’ memory.
