10 questions to ask any aramid fiber supplier.

Before your next overlay bid, know exactly what fiber you're pricing. Ten questions that separate pure aramid from plastic-laced filler.

"Fiber's great, but our jobs are too small."

153 tons says otherwise.

Eagle Paving overlaid Venture Parkway in Redding in a single day — ½″ PG 64-16, 25% RAP, ACE XP™ 38mm. Accurate, on schedule, beautiful carpet.

No minimums. No specialty equipment. Small jobs deserve long life too.

ACE XP -the dry alternative to wet polymer asphalt modification — available 365.

Wet polymers put your schedule in someone else's hands: terminal blending, compatibility checks, seasonal shortages. ACE XP is the dry alternative — added at your plant, on your schedule, available 365 days a year.

Communities rebuilding after wildfire can't afford pavement that fails early.

Arrowhead Road in Clearlake was built to that standard: 1,200 tons of ACE XP™ reinforced HMA from Teichert Woodland, placed by Lamon Construction in one day — with documented mixing protocol and same-day samples to BATT Labs for independent verification.

Infrastructure that lasts is part of how communities recover.

Zero fiber in your baghouse. Know what's in your mix.

10 years of ACE XP™ in airfield pavements—and our latest airport project raised the bar again.

The YVR North Runway modernization required precision at every stage:
• 150,000 tonnes reinforced ACE XP aramid fiber asphalt
• Eight-hour overnight construction windows
• More than 100 crew members
• Multiple paving units operating under tight deadlines
• On-site technical support and dosing verification
• Calibrated equipment and daily production report documentation

Surface Tech worked alongside YVR, Kiewit, Amrize and Associated Engineering to help deliver a runway engineered for durability, crack resistance and reduced maintenance.

Ontario winters don't negotiate with asphalt.

ACE XP Pure aramid reinforcement with daily production reports.

Precision-dosed aramid. Verified every 10 seconds.

If you're adding fiber to your mix, you should be able to prove it went in — every ton, every run. ACE XP: 2.1 oz/ton of pure aramid, verified every 10 seconds, with 4,200 tons of asphalt reinforced per pallet.

8:00 PM to 6:00 AM. One shot to get it right.

Freeway merges concentrate braking, acceleration, and shear into the same wheel paths. So the pilot at the HWY 4 / HWY 160 merger went down reinforced: 460 tons of ACE XP™ Superpave (15% RAP) from Teichert Vernalis, placed by Bay Cities in one overnight closure.

Pilots are how specs change. Watch this space.
