"Pavement Membranes"

Petromat - The Amoco Petromat® System extends the life of new asphalt concrete (AC) pavements and AC overlays. The Petromat System consists of Amoco's Petromat non-woven polypropylene fabric which is field saturated with an asphalt cement tack coat. When placed between pavement layers, the Petromat system becomes an integral part of the roadway section, forming a barrier to water infiltration and absorbing stresses to reduce reflective and fatigue cracking of the new AC surface layer. Since 1965, the economical Petromat System has had an outstanding record of improving pavement performance while reducing maintenance and roadway life-cycle costs. Paving fabric systems are currently being used at a rate of over 15,000 equivalent lane miles per year in North America alone. Complete PDF format brochure. Continued.

Petrotac - Petrotac is an unique peel and stick paving fabric/ rubberized asphalt composite membrane. Petrotac acts as a moisture barrier as well as a stress absorbing membrane interlayer. It is used in pavement maintenance to treat joints and cracks before overlay placement. Petrotac is also used as a bridge deck membrane system. Complete PDF format brochure. Continued.
