ASPHALT OVERLAY FABRIC
Most subgrade failures arise from surface water seeping down
into the pavement's aggregate base course and weakening the
foundation soil's shear strength. Once this occurs, asphalt surface
cracking will appear due to vehicular weight being placed on this
weakened foundation. Simply placing a layer of slurry seal over
the cracks will only provide a temporary solution, as reflective 
cracking will soon return. A nonwoven asphalt overlay fabric
forms a membrane that minimizes surface water from penetrating
pavement systems and provides a stress relief interlayer which
inhibits the growth of reflective cracks. Produced from polypropylene
staple fibers, overlay fabrics are heat-set to provide a
waterproofing barrier.
