Fiberglass Geogrid
Superior Asphalt Reinforcement Solution for Road Maintenance and Crack Control
🔹 Intro
TYNOD Fiberglass Geogrid is a high-performance geosynthetic product used to reinforce asphalt layers, control reflective cracking, and extend pavement lifespan. Made from high-strength glass fiber coated with bitumen or PVC, it ensures strong interlock and bonding with asphalt mixtures.
What Is Fiberglass Geogrid?
Fiberglass Geogrid is a high-performance geosynthetic material designed for reinforcing asphalt pavements and road bases. It is made from high-modulus, alkali-resistant glass fibers that are woven into a stable grid structure and coated with a bituminous or polymeric layer. This coating enhances the geogrid’s bonding performance with asphalt mixtures and improves its resistance to moisture, oxidation, and mechanical damage.
The primary function of a Fiberglass Geogrid is to distribute traffic loads evenly and prevent reflective cracking caused by temperature fluctuations or repeated traffic stress. By reinforcing the pavement structure, it extends the service life of roads, reduces maintenance frequency, and ensures long-term cost efficiency.
Fiberglass Geogrid is widely used in road rehabilitation, new pavement construction, airport runways, and parking lots, where it helps to control rutting, fatigue cracking, and other forms of pavement distress. Its lightweight design, high tensile strength, and excellent thermal stability make it an ideal choice for engineers seeking reliable reinforcement and superior pavement performance.

Key Features & Advantages of Fiberglass Geogrid
🧵 High Tensile Strength
Fiberglass Geogrid is manufactured from high-modulus glass fibers that provide outstanding tensile strength in both longitudinal and transverse directions. This strength helps distribute applied loads across a wider area, minimizing stress concentration on asphalt layers and reducing the risk of deformation. The result is a more durable, stable, and long-lasting pavement structure capable of withstanding heavy traffic loads and repetitive vehicle movements.
🔥 Thermal Stability
Unlike traditional reinforcement materials that lose strength under temperature variation, Fiberglass Geogrid maintains consistent performance in both extreme heat and cold environments. Its superior thermal stability helps counteract expansion and contraction in asphalt layers, effectively preventing cracking due to temperature cycles. This makes it particularly valuable for regions experiencing harsh weather conditions or frequent freeze-thaw cycles.
🧱 Strong Adhesion
Each grid is coated with a high-quality bituminous or PVC resin layer to enhance adhesion between the geogrid and asphalt mixture. This coating improves interlocking with bitumen, ensuring a seamless bond and reducing the potential for layer separation. The result is a cohesive pavement system with improved load transfer and structural performance, even under dynamic traffic stress.
🚧 Crack Prevention
One of the most significant advantages of Fiberglass Geogrid is its ability to control reflective and fatigue cracks in asphalt pavements. By reinforcing the surface layer and reducing stress accumulation, the geogrid acts as a barrier that prevents cracks from propagating upward from the existing pavement. This not only extends the service life of the road but also minimizes maintenance frequency, saving both time and repair costs over the long term.
🌦️ Durability
Fiberglass Geogrid exhibits excellent resistance to chemical degradation, corrosion, and environmental aging. It is unaffected by acids, alkalis, and salts commonly found in soils or deicing materials, ensuring reliable long-term performance even in challenging environments. Its UV-resistant coating also prevents fiber degradation when exposed to sunlight during construction and installation.
⚙️ Easy Installation
Designed for construction efficiency, Fiberglass Geogrid can be installed quickly and easily using standard paving machinery. Its lightweight and flexible nature simplify handling, alignment, and cutting on-site. The grid is typically rolled out directly onto the prepared surface and secured before applying the asphalt overlay, minimizing labor costs and ensuring smooth construction progress without the need for specialized tools.
