Rotaflex
is an asphalt reinforcing system comprising
of a PVC coated glass fibre grid within a
polyester geotextile. Rotaflex is a
key component of sustainable road
maintenance and construction.
It is designed to provide reflective crack
control, pavement reinforcement and to
prevent premature road break up due to
increasing axle loads.
Onsite
experience since 1987 and extensive research
by major road laboratories in Europe have
demonstrated the benefits of Rotaflex
to eliminate or retard reflective cracking,
reduce rutting and extend fatigue life of a
pavement. A 10 times increase in service
life against fatigue due to high traffic
loads can be obtained (alternatively a
saving of up to 30% of pavement thickness
can be made). Rotaflex works by
preventing strains within

Applications
Reflective crack
control and
reinforcement of
overlays to
Highways,
Airfields, Car
Parks, Footways,
etc. on cracked
surfaces, lean
mix bases, setts,
concrete slabs,
pitchings, clay
and peat, to
avoid full
reconstruction
and reduce
deflection.
Reduction in
overlay
thickness to
avoid threshold
problems.
Reinforcement of
new construction
to enable
increased
life/reduced
thickness.
Reduction of
rutting in black
top pavements
subject to high
wheel loading
and channelled
trafficking.
Haunching. To
tie-in widened
carriageways.
Strengthening
around manholes. |

asphalt
layers reaching a critical levels. Laid
within an asphalt/bitmac pavement
Rotaflex provides the three
essentials: reinforcement, sealing and
good interlayer bond. Rotaflex
is the cost effective solution to
pavement strengthening.
Rotaflex is compatible with all hot
applied surfacing materials including
thin asphaltic concrete.
