TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G is a high strength glass filament reinforced geocomposite. TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G is ideally suited to the economic maintenance of any cracked road surface with a stable substructure.
The benefits of TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G at a glance:
- Sealing:
Bitumen saturated TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G prevents waterand oxygen from penetration into the road structure.
- Reinforcement:
TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G is used for high load-uptake at low strain (<3%).
- Stress relief:
TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G retard the progress of differential stresses between substrate and new overlay. Crack propagation and reflective cracking is therefore retarded or completely prevented.
- Ease of installation:
When a laying device is used, TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G can be installed easily and quickly without any fixing material, even in bends or over unevenness’s.
- Recycling:
Asphalt layers reinforced with TenCate Polyfelt® PGM-G can be milled easily with conventional methods, if the milling is done a few cm below the level of PGM-G.

Functionalities
Stress Relief
Because fatigue due to traffic and thermal and hydraulic changes are the obvious causes of fissuring, the major function of stress relief is to increase the life span of the roadway.
Sealing
The major function of sealing is to prevent the flow of water and polluting products towards the natural soil.
Reinforcement
The major function of Reinforcement is to guarantee the stability of structures.
