Basalt Fiber Geogrid Civil Engineering Mesh for Asphalt Reinforcement
Product Description
Basalt fiber mesh is a kind of reinforcement product, which uses the anti-acid & alkali basalt continuous filament (BCF) to produce gridding base material with advanced knitting process, sized with silane and coated with PVC.
The stable physical properties make it both high and low temperature resistant and highly resistant to deformation. Both warp and weft directions are high tensile strength and low elongation
Product Features
- Higher mechanical strength and modulus, resistive to chemical aggressive environment.
- Basalt mesh is environment friendly and based on naturally occurring material that is found worldwide.
- High tensile strength and low elongation
- No long-term creep and good thermal stability
- Good physic and chemical stability, strong resistance to biologic erosion and climate changes
- Good affinity with asphalt and cement concrete.

Applications
Basalt fiber geogrids are highly versatile and are used to reinforce various structures:
-
Road Construction: Reinforcing asphalt and cement concrete pavements to prevent reflective cracking caused by temperature fluctuations, traffic loads, and subgrade movement.
This can significantly prolong pavement life and allow for reduced asphalt thickness (up to 20%). -
Soil and Foundation Reinforcement: Stabilizing weak soils, creating stable foundations for industrial and residential buildings, and reinforcing retaining walls.
-
Slope Stabilization: Protecting slopes and embankments from erosion and destruction.
-
Concrete Structures: Used as reinforcement in concrete elements, bridge decks, and industrial flooring, often as a non-corrosive alternative to steel welded wire mesh.
