Aramid Fiber for Asphalt Pavements
High-Performance Asphalt Fiber for Fiber-Reinforced Asphalt Mixtures
What Is Aramid Fiber for Fiber-Reinforced Asphalt Concrete?
HGM® Aramid is an engineered aramid + polyolefin synthetic blend (80/20) developed specifically for asphalt pavements and overlays. The fiber forms a three-dimensional reinforcement matrix inside hot mix asphalt (HMA), warm mix asphalt (WMA), and fiber-modified bituminous mixtures.
Key enhancements include:
-
Improved anti-cracking performance (reflective, thermal, joint cracking)
-
Superior anti-rutting ability under high temperatures & heavy wheel loads
-
Increased fatigue life for long-term durability
-
Better asphalt binder retention & mixture stability

Standard Reference and Applications
HGM® Aramid is an engineered blend of aramid and polyolefin fibers developed for reinforcing asphalt mixtures.Standard Specification for Aramid Fiber for Asphalt Mixtures recognizes that aramid fiber may be blended with polyolefin fiber or other additives to improve handling and reduce fiber loss during asphalt mixing.
HGM® Aramid is designed for use in fiber-reinforced asphalt concrete (FRAC), hot-mix asphalt (HMA), warm-mix asphalt (WMA), overlays, and other fiber-modified asphalt mixtures. Product suitability and dosage should be confirmed through project-specific mix design, performance testing, and applicable local specifications.
How Aramid Fibers Strengthen Asphalt Pavements
HGM® Aramid disperses uniformly in asphalt during drum or batch mixing, forming a reinforcing micro-network that improves mechanical and thermal performance.
Key functional mechanisms:
-
Crack Control: Resists reflective, fatigue, and thermal cracking
-
Rutting Resistance: Adds structural stability at high pavement temperatures
-
Fatigue Life Improvement: Reduces strain, delaying pavement distress
-
Binder Holding Effect: Reduces drain-down and improves asphalt film thickness

How to Add Aramid Fiber to Asphalt Mixes
Integration is simple and compatible with standard paving practices:
-
Design Compatibility： Recommended dosage and feeding procedure should be confirmed through project-specific mixture design and plant or laboratory trials.
-
Dosage： 0.5–0.8 kg per ton of asphalt mix.
-
Mixing： Mixing: Gradually add the fibers directly into the asphalt mixture while the mixer is operating, and continue mixing until uniform dispersion is achieved. The feeding sequence and mixing duration may be adjusted according to the fiber form, mixer type, batch size, and preliminary dispersion trials.
-
Placement： Suitable for conventional paving & compaction equipment.

FAQ
HGM® Aramid is a blended aramid and polyolefin fiber developed for asphalt mixtures and pavement reinforcement applications. It is added as discrete fibers during asphalt production.
No. HGM® Aramid is a blended product containing aramid and polyolefin fibers. The current product specification should be used to confirm the exact blend composition and constituent properties.
The final dosage should follow the current HGM® Aramid Technical Data Sheet and project-specific mix design. The selected dosage should be validated according to the asphalt mixture and required performance.
HGM® Aramid can be evaluated in compatible hot-mix asphalt systems. Plant-feeding method, mix temperature, dosage and mixing time should be confirmed for the selected mixture.
HGM® Aramid may be evaluated in compatible warm-mix asphalt systems. Suitability should be confirmed according to the WMA technology, binder system, plant process and performance requirements.
