Roving

  • Performance

    • Dramatic increase in pavement flexibility



    • Acid and Alkali-resistant



    • Excellent dispersion



    • Increased overlay ductility



    • Reduced reflective cracking

  • Chopped

    • Easy Feeding through automated dispensers



    • Prebagged for easy dispenser loading

  • Roving

    • High split efficiency



    • Easy Chopping



    • Enables optimized fiber length

Applications

• In the micro surfacing and slurry seal processes, Slurry-FIL™ AR glass quickly disperses throughout the slurry surfacing matrices.



• Slurry-FIL™ AR glass has been designed to work in conjunction with the asphalt matrices to assure excellent workability and reliable long-term performance.

Dosage

Slurry-FIL™ AR glass is used in the slurry surfacing manufacturing processes with specified chopping and dispensing equipment. The recommended dosage is 0.20 to 0.40% of dry material weight.


Packaging & Storage

• Slurry-FIL™ rovings are protected by a shrink-wrap polythene film, open at the top, which should not be removed when the product is in use. Rovings are packed on pallets.
• Slurry-FIL™ chopped strands are packed in individual plastics bags.
• Slurry-FIL™ should be stored away from heat and moisture, and in its original packaging.
• Optimum conditions are temperatures between 15ºC and 35ºC and humidity between 35% and 65%. If the product is stored at lower temperatures, it is advisable to condition it in the workshop for at least 24 hours before use to prevent condensation.


Quality Standards

Slurry-FIL™ fibers are manufactured under a quality Management System approved to ISO 9001.

Slurry-FIL™ fibers are not classified as dangerous by the Regulation 1272/2008/EC. For more information, please refer to our Safe Use Instructions Sheet.

Verified Environmental Product Declaration according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804:2019 available upon request.
