HaTelit C40/17
What is HaTelit C 40/17
Purpose
Flexible reinforcement grid out of

high modulus Polyester with a
mesh size of 4 cm
Extension of the service intervals
Ultralight non-woven serves as

installation aid
( Melting point PP at 150C)
Decrease of the maintenance costs

Increase the service life of a road
Grid is heat resistant up to 200C

Grid and non-woven are bituminous
coated (excellent interlayer bonding)

HaTelit Installation
Preparation of the surface
Installation of HaTelit
Conditions for an optimum interlayer bond must be given.

1. Preparation of the surface
HaTelit always has to be placed between two

asphalt layers (levelling asphalt layer)!
2. Spraying of bitumen emulsion

3. Applying / Unrolling HaTelit
The base must be dry and clean
4. Asphalt installation
Large cracks and potholes have to be filled

Vertical movements must be corrected

The emulsion must be allowed to break

Unrolling HaTelit with a simple system,
either manually, or mechanically
When using:
- Emulsion with 70% Bitumen content:
- Emulsion with 60% Bitumen content:
min. 0.6 kg/m

min. 0.7 kg/m
HaTelit must be placed free of folds

and wrinkles on the prepared surface
On a milled, rough or opentextured surface the

minimum rate needs to be further increased.
On milled surfaces it can be up to 1.0 - 1.2 kg/m
(Using an emulsion with 70% Bitumen content)

Why Polyester?
Why Polyester?
3. Polyester has a high resistance against

damage during installation!
2. Polyester is flexible, so it accommodates

very well to the surrounding asphalt
Laid reinforcement is always exposed

to a great deal of stress!!
28.01.2015
28.01.2015
28.01.2015
Due to the flexibility it accommodates

Case Studies
Why Polyester?
Airport Salgado Filho, Porto Alegre - Brazil
Conclusion:
The mechanical properties of Polyester match
very well to the characteristics of asphalt!
This leads to:

Very low internal stresses
Good bond of the material to the
surrounding asphalt
Polyester does not act as a foreign material

Background:
Existing pavement in January 2002
In January 2002 the Taxiway of a commercial

aircraft maintenance area had to be rehabilitated

25 cm
High traffic volume,

e.g. Boeing 777 with a weight of 250 t
Concrete slabs
5.0m x 3.5m
Existing pavement was made of concrete slabs
Bearing course
A possible rehabilitation method would have been

the installation of thick new asphalt layers
BUT:
A plain asphalt layer cannot prevent the propagation
(reflection) of the expansion joints

A thickness increase may delay reflective cracking,

but is economically inefficient

Letter of reference, June 2002:

... Due to the installation of the

at the surface until today .
This procedure was chosen in that
time in order not to remove the

HaTelit ...
Reduces stress peaks over the tip of a crack and
therefore delays reflective cracking
Has a high resistance against installation damage
Improves the mechanical properties of the entire system
Also reduces the formation of ruts in areas with high
traffic due to the load-distribution effect
