GlasGrid® Tack Film - Superior Asphalt Pavement Reinforcement With Built-In Tack Coat

Get better performance – and longer road life – with GlasGrid® TF.

Tack coat is a necessity when it comes to laying roadway applications. Without it, pavement is subject to debonding, slippage and cracking. But tack coat also presents a number of issues: proper, even coverage is difficult to achieve; curing time restricts paving construction; and tack can be tracked easily onto clean roads.  Saint-Gobain ADFORS has developed a new product that offers the benefits of tack coat without all the inherent problems: GlasGrid® TF (Tack Film). It contains a patent-pending, highly engineered film designed to replace the need for a tack coat. The fiberglass grid provides protection against reflective cracking, while the tack film enhances performance of the overlay, resulting in extended life.

GLASGRID® TF (TACK FILM): ENHANCED
CONVENIENCE AND PERFORMANCE
The GlasGrid® TF (Tack Film) System provides all the benefits of the GlasGrid System without the challenges of applying a conventional tack coat. With its pre-installed elastomeric polymer film layer, GlasGrid TF performs better than the original GlasGrid System to protect against reflective cracking due to its enhanced bond to asphalt overlays. And, with no tack coat
to prepare and apply, owners and installers save on time, labor
and material costs.
