PAN Fiber for Asphalt Pavements Reinforcement | PIONEER®

Premium PAN Fiber Solutions for Fiber-Reinforced Asphalt Mixtures

What Is HGM® PAN Asphalt Fiber?

HGM® PAN is a specially engineered polyacrylonitrile fiber designed as a reinforcement additive for hot mix asphalt. It forms a three-dimensional micro-reinforcement network within the asphalt matrix, improving mixture stability, binder retention, and load distribution.

Compared with other synthetic fibers, PAN fibers offer outstanding heat resistance, enabling superior performance in high-temperature mixing and compaction environments.

Key Performance Enhancements:

  • Improved anti-cracking and thermal crack resistance

  • Higher stability during high-temperature asphalt mixing

  • Reduced drain-down in SMA and OGFC mixtures

  • Enhanced durability and fatigue life

  • Improved resistance to rutting and deformation

Applicable Standards for Fiber-Reinforced Asphalt Pavements

Our PAN fibers for asphalt reinforcement comply with international standards for performance and reliability:

  • ASTM D7552: Fiber-Reinforced Asphalt Concrete

  • AASHTO M325: Fiber Additive for Asphalt Mixtures

How HGM® PAN Reinforces Asphalt Mixtures

1. Three-Dimensional Fiber Network
Enhances tensile strength and distributes load more evenly through the asphalt matrix.
2. Improved Cohesion and Stability
Fiber prevents binder migration and reduces drain-down during production and paving.
3. Increased Resistance to Rutting and Deformation
Improves resilient modulus and mixture stiffness without compromising flexibility.
4. Enhanced Fatigue Life
Fiber-reinforced asphalt withstands repeated traffic loads more effectively.

Looking for Better Macro Synthetic Fiber Performance?

Standard PP macro synthetic fiber is widely used in fiber reinforced concrete, but its performance is often limited by material properties and manufacturing methods.

With lower tensile strength and a relatively smooth surface, conventional macro fibers provide limited anchorage and weak crack-bridging ability after cracking.

In real projects, this often results in insufficient post-crack strength, uneven performance, difficult finishing, and higher dosage just to meet basic requirements.

How Rimix™ 3D Improves Macro Fiber Performance

Rimix™ 3D is a high-performance upgrade to conventional macro fiber, engineered with advanced PP–PE composite materials.

It delivers higher tensile strength and modulus, allowing better load transfer across cracks and more stable post-crack performance.

Its optimized fiber geometry enhances bonding and pull-out resistance, while ensuring excellent dispersion without balling—making mixing and finishing easier on site.

Compared to standard macro fiber, Rimix™ 3D achieves stronger reinforcement with lower dosage, improving both performance and cost efficiency.

Upgrade Fiber Performance — Not Just Dosage

Simply adding more fiber does not always solve performance issues. The key is upgrading the material quality and structural performance of the fiber itself.

Rimix™ 3D provides higher efficiency per kilogram, helping achieve better crack control, improved workability, and more consistent concrete performance across different applications.

FAQ

  • PAN fiber is used to reinforce asphalt mixtures by improving resistance to cracking, rutting, and fatigue damage. It enhances the durability and performance of fiber-reinforced asphalt concrete (FRAC) in high-stress road applications.

  • PAN fibers disperse uniformly within the asphalt mix, forming a 3D reinforcement network that stabilizes the binder and aggregate structure. This reduces deformation, improves flexibility, and extends pavement service life.

  • The recommended dosage is 1–3 kg per ton of asphalt mix, depending on traffic load, climate, and pavement design.

  • Yes. PAN fibers can be added directly during the mixing stage and require no modifications to conventional hot mix or warm mix asphalt production.

  • No. When mixed properly, PAN fibers maintain workability and compaction efficiency while enhancing fiber-matrix bonding.
