Asphalt Reinforcement GlasGrid Rapid
Superior asphalt pavement reinforcement with built-in high modified bitumen self-adhesive layer
Product Overview
ADFORS GlasGrid® Rapid is the superior asphalt pavement reinforcement with built-in high modified bitumen self-adhesive layer. Engineered solution to reinforce pavements and dramatically speed up the road reconstruction process by replacing the need for applying a tack coat.
Application on all surfaces:
- old/new asphalt surfaces
- old/new concrete surfaces
- flat surfaces
- milled surfaces
- combined milled and flat surfaces
Product benefits include:
- Minimally 3x longer road life time due to reduction of cracks and deformation
- Up to 50% reduction in future investment for repair and maintenance
- Fast and efficient application thanks to bitumen self-adhesive layer and tack coat-free application
- Usable from desert to mountain weather conditions
- Increased traffic capacity of the road
- 10% better waterproofing and drainage of the road
- Less technological processes save manpower and mechanization on job site
- Easy to mill and recycle
- Positive impact on the enviroment

Can an asphalt reinforcement be applied on a milled surface?
Yes, the ADFORS GlasGrid CG, CGL and RAPID composite geogrids are intended for application on milled surfaces. Please read the installation manual for the listed products.
What are GlasGrid geogrids made of?
ADFORS GlasGrid geogrids are made of glass fibers which are coated with a temperature stable elastomeric polymer to protect them.
Can a geogrid be applied to a concrete surface?
Yes, the ADFORS GlasGrid can be applied on concrete surfaces. Before application, we recommend laying a thin asphalt leveling layer and then using the self-adhesive ADFORS GlasGrid GG.
Does the geogrid form a waterproofing layer?
We offer 2 types of products for creating a waterproofing layer (interlayer barrier) – ADFORS GlasGrid CG composite geogrid and ADFORS GlasGrid RAPID – the self-adhesive composite geogrid.
Is it possible to use a geogrid in curves and at a roundabout?
The application of the geogrid in curves can be performed following the correct application procedure. We do not recommend using geogrids at the roundabout.
