Discover the Many Benefits of our Mirafi® MPM Paving Mats

Cracking in roads and highways is a persistent - and widespread - issue in our country. A recent study shows that over one-third of American roads are in mediocre or poor condition. In addition, the American Society of Civil Engineers gave America’s roads a “D” in its Infrastructure Report Card in 2017. Finding a solution to this ever-growing problem has kept engineers busy for years. Believed to be caused by water and differential movement, this deterioration is becoming a larger and larger threat to road safety. 

Fortunately, TenCate Geosynthetics has an answer to this dilemma. Our innovative products, the Mirafi®  MPM Paving Matsare designed to create a moisture barrier, slow down reflective cracking, and withstand high-temperature hot-mix designs. Once properly installed, this nonwoven paving fabric helps protect against water while keeping the surface intact. These products can secure pavement against reflective cracking, block cracking, longitudinal cracking, and transverse cracking.

Here are some additional key benefits of the Mirafi® MPM paving mats:

  • Extension of the pavement life
  • Reduce maintenance costs
  • Reduction & delay of reflective cracking
  • Provision of a moisture barrier
  • Installable on smooth or milled surface
  • Improved performance on all paved roads, from residential roads to state highways
  • Compatible with all AC tack coats
  • Millable & recyclable

These solutions are already creating a positive impact. Analyzing the results of several experiments, our paving fabrics significantly improve the long-term performance of pavements. TenCate Geosynthetics is proud to create products that make our country’s roads safer and more reliable.
