About us
FORTA's asphalt-reinforcing fiber has been successfully used in projects around the world. The secret to reinforcing almost any construction material is historically simple: add fibers throughout the material to add strength, toughness, and durability. FORTA capitalizes on this three-dimensional certainty by providing strong and chemically-inert synthetic fibers and materials — FORTA-FI® — that mix quickly and distribute uniformly in asphalt mixtures. Once distributed, FORTA-FI fibers act as reinforcement in both conventional and modified asphalt mixtures, offering improvements to stability-related problems often occurring in unreinforced asphalt pavements. Though the millions of distributed fibers are easily detectable in the asphalt mixture, they become virtually invisible on the pavement surface, and they require no modifications to normal lay-down and compaction practices. By controlling thermal, reflective, and fatigue cracking as well as rutting, FORTA-FI is a cost-effective way to improve the durability and longevity of a wide variety of HMA, WMA and PAT asphalt applications. FORTA-FI family of products are proprietary blends containing aramid and polyolefin fibers and other materials, known for their strength, durability, and binding properties.

✈️ Project Spotlight: Rawlins Airport Runway, Rawlins, WY ✈️ We’re proud to highlight the successful Rawlins #AirportRunway project in Rawlins, Wyoming, where FORTA-FI® was used to strengthen and extend the life of this critical #Infrastructure! The Rawlins Municipal Airport needed a solution to ensure a more durable and long-lasting runway with enhanced resistance to thermal cracking. FORTA-FI #FiberReinforcement was added to the asphalt mix to significantly improve resistance to cracking and rutting, leading to a smoother, safer runway for years to come. 🛫 💡 Key Benefits of #FORTAFI: -Improved pavement durability -Enhanced resistance to thermal cracking -Extended pavement life by reducing maintenance costs Learn more about how FORTA-FI is transforming airport runways and other critical infrastructure: https://lnkd.in/eCf3yuiw

#FORTAfied Asphalt vs. Traditional Asphalt When you have #FORTAFI in the mix, our aramid fibers spread the force throughout the #Pavement, reducing stress and fatigue where the tires meet the #Road. In a traditional #Asphalt mix the force of traffic drives down into the pavement, causing the stress and fatigue that leads to cracks and even worse, potholes. Reduce the stress your pavement is under. Having FORTA-FI in the mix leads to less cracking, fewer potholes, and more peace of mind. Choose #BetterPavements, and choose FORTA-FI.

This state route in Palm Beach County, Florida used FORTA-FI to reinforce the #Asphalt of this critical #roadway. Known for its high traffic volume and harsh weather conditions, State Route 15 required a #durable solution to extend the lifespan of the #pavement and minimize future maintenance. By incorporating #FORTAFI reinforcement fibers into the asphalt mix, the project team was able to enhance the pavement’s strength and flexibility, resulting in a longer-lasting, more resilient roadway. The use of FORTA-FI #ReducedCracking and #Rutting, providing a cost-effective solution that will serve the community for years to come. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬: -Application: Mill & Fill -Solution: FORTA-FI® -Benefits: Enhanced durability, reduced cracking, extended pavement life. This project demonstrates how FORTA-FI can improve pavement performance, delivering stronger, longer-lasting roads that can handle heavy traffic and environmental stress.
