Fibermat^© SAM/SAMI (Stress Absorbing Membrane/Interlayer)

FiberMat^® SAM/SAMIs seal and protect structurally sound pavements with aged or distressed surfaces by bridging cracking and providing a resistant surface or interlayer.

FiberMat^® SAM/SAMI is a high-performance, stress-absorbing, membrane/interlayer-type surface treatment. It is constructed with a one-pass application of a sandwiched matrix of polymer modified asphalt emulsion, chopped fiberglass fibers and a second layer of emulsion. The strong, adhesive membrane is then covered with high-quality aggregate. The tensile strength of the fibers gives outstanding reinforcement to the surface, bridging cracks and other distresses in the existing pavement.

FiberMat^® SAM/SAMI is the ideal, high-performance treatment for correcting and protecting structurally sound pavements with aged or distressed surfaces. Over blacktop or concrete, FiberMat^® waterproofs and seals cracked and distressed surfaces, restoring skid resistance and enhancing appearance. It can also be used as an interlayer prior to the placement of a hot mix asphalt overlay.
