GLASS FIBER GRID

TerraShield Glass Fiber Grid (Fiberglass Geogrid) is a reinforcement material made from glass fibers that are coated with a protective polymer, such as bitumen or PVC, to improve durability and resistance to chemical and environmental damage.

Applications

Road Construction & Re-Habilitation

Railway & Port Pavements

Airport Runways & Parking Lots

Slope Stabilization

Features

  • High tensile strength & durability
  • Very high tensile strength and low creep — excellent for reinforcement.
  • Thin profile with high stiffness — effective in asphalt and cement overlays.
  • Alkali and chemical resistance (when suitably treated) for long life.
  • Reduces reflective cracking and improves pavement/overlay performance.
  • Lightweight and easy to handle/cut for fast installation.
  • Good aggregate interlock and bonding with bitumen/mastic or mortar.
  • Non-metallic — corrosion-free alternative to steel meshes.
