What is Forta-Fi? FORTA-FI is a high tensile strength synthetic fiber blend formulated to reinforce asphalt mixes in both new construction or rehab projects.

STRONGER THAN YOUR TRADITIONAL MIXTURE. REDUCES CRACKING AND RUTTING. While we have known for years that adding reinforcing fibers to asphalt would substantially increase the life of that asphalt, it was very difficult to quantify the years and calculate that value for our customers. Recent research has provided more detail about the benefits provided by FORTA-FI asphalt fibers.

Vehicles consume less fuel on smoother asphalt pavements

According to experts, vehicles driving on smoother pavements, particularly smooth asphalt pavements, consume less fuel than driving over rough road conditions of poorly constructed roads. Overall, less fuel consumption helps the environment and driver’s fuel budgets, leading to a greener and more cost-effective form of infrastructure. Since the United States has over 2.5 million miles […]
