HGM® PET
Modified Polyester Fiber for Asphalt Reinforcement
Synthetic fiber for asphalt pavement
Since 2002, we have specialized in concrete crack resistance, waterproofing, and anti-corrosion technologies.
Product Description
PIONEER® HGM® PET is made of 100% pure polyester and is specifically designed as a monofilament fiber for asphalt reinforcement. Adding PIONEER® HGM® PET to asphalt mixes improves adhesion, high temperature stability and fatigue durability. It also enhances low temperature crack resistance and prevents reflective cracking. This makes it an effective solution to address durability issues and early damage to asphalt pavement, ultimately extending the service life of the asphalt surface.
PIONEER® is a leading brand in the engineering fiber industry with a 22-year history. Its fiber-reinforced concrete technology has been awarded the China National Science and Technology Progress Award. The PIONEER® product line includes four main series: HPM® Micro Fibers, HTM® Macro Fibers, HGM® Asphalt Fibers, and PNE® Steel Fibers. These products have been successfully applied in thousands of major projects worldwide and are highly regarded in the civil engineering field.
Uses
PIONEER® HGM® PET is typically used in the intermediate and surface layers of asphalt pavements to enhance overall performance, extend pavement lifespan, and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Applications of PIONEER® HGM® PET include:
-
New asphalt surface layers
-
Overlays on old asphalt and concrete pavements, including bridge decks
-
Asphalt pavement maintenance and repairs
-
Asphalt surfacing for steel bridge decks
-
Large-scale asphalt pavements, such as those for airports and parking lots
-
Asphalt concrete surfaces with various gradations (e.g., SMA, AK, AC, LH, SAC)
-
Asphalt concrete surfaces under various conditions, including HMA(hot mix asphalt),WMA (warm mix asphalt), and PAT (hot or cold patches)
