Crack-resistant tape


Crack-resistant tape is a roll-type crack-stopping, waterproof membrane made by coating a 2mm-thick polymer waterproof film onto an anti-wrinkle, heavy-load-resistant polypropylene material—and then tightly rolling and compounding the two layers together through a rigorous manufacturing process. This crack-resistant tape features a self-adhesive interlayer that effectively resists cracking and provides superior waterproofing. Its unique structure seamlessly integrates several existing crack- and water-proofing techniques currently used in road construction—such as standalone geosynthetic materials and stress-absorbing layer products—creating an optimized, upgraded solution that combines the best of these approaches for enhanced crack resistance and waterproofing in highway layers.


Detailed description

Product Introduction:

Crack-resistant tape is a roll-type crack-stopping, waterproof membrane made by coating a polymer waterproof film onto an anti-wrinkle, heavy-load-resistant polypropylene material, then tightly rolling and compounding the layers together through a rigorous manufacturing process.

Anti-crack tape is a self-adhesive, interlayer crack-resistant and waterproof material. This innovative structure seamlessly integrates several existing crack- and waterproofing measures—such as geosynthetic materials and stress-absorbing layer materials—currently used individually on highways, representing an optimized, upgraded product that combines the best features of today’s interlayer crack-resistant and waterproofing solutions for roadways.

Product features:

Reinforcement effect: The high-strength, high-temperature-resistant fabric on the surface of the anti-crack tape boasts significant tensile strength, effectively resisting tensile stresses at interlayer cracks and limiting crack width propagation. This reinforcement action enhances the tensile strength of the localized structural layers in asphalt pavements.

Energy-dissipating buffering effect: The polymers in the anti-crack tape possess both viscoelastic properties and excellent low-temperature flexibility. When applied between asphalt pavement layers, they effectively create a composite layer that maintains its viscoelastic performance even under severe cold conditions. As a result, tensile stresses at crack locations are distributed across this flexible, viscoelastic layer and gradually dissipate over a wider area, helping to absorb and relieve the tensile energy.

Waterproofing and anti-seepage effect: The crack-resistant patch is laid over the surface of interlayer cracks, creating a continuous waterproof and anti-seepage layer that effectively blocks the pathways for rainwater and snowmelt to penetrate, thereby minimizing water damage to the pavement.

Self-adhesive properties: This product features self-adhesion, making construction exceptionally convenient. Simply remove the release liner and directly apply it to the crack area. After gently compacting with a small compaction device, the bond between the material and the pavement becomes even stronger, with no shifting or movement—perfectly meeting the requirements for paving the upper layer of asphalt mix. When applied to asphalt concrete surfaces that have developed cracks or spalling, the crack-resistant tape effectively reduces and isolates the thermal shrinkage stresses acting on the pavement, thereby minimizing the tendency for cracks to reflect upward through the surface layer. By separating the base layer from the upper wearing course, this product ensures that the top layer remains free from multidirectional displacement and shear stresses, making it ideal for use in highways, bridges, and airports.

Product applications:

Crack-resistant tapes are primarily used in new construction and maintenance projects for the pavement bases of highways, general roads, and urban roadways. They feature high tensile strength, excellent toughness, and superior surface adhesion, making them ideal for pavement bases to prevent cracks—caused by temperature fluctuations and vertical loads—from reflecting upward into the surface layer.

Strong technological capabilities and robust R&D expertise


Long-filament geotextile

Long-fiber geotextiles are nonwoven geosynthetic materials made from polyester (PET) or polypropylene (PP) long fibers, produced via needle-punching or thermal bonding processes. They feature high strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent water permeability and filtration capabilities, making them widely used in engineering applications such as roadways, railways, and water conservancy projects for separation, filtration, protection, and drainage purposes.

Short-fiber geotextile

Short-fiber geotextiles are nonwoven geosynthetic materials made from short polyester (PET) or polypropylene (PP) fibers, processed through a combination of carding, web formation, and needle-punching techniques. Compared to long-fiber geotextiles, these materials feature shorter fibers and lower production costs, making them ideal for applications where moderate strength is required alongside cost-effectiveness—in isolation, protection, and drainage filtration projects such as temporary roads, landfill liner systems, and other similar uses.

Soft-body volleyball

Soft revetments (flexible bottom protection systems) are made by weaving high-strength synthetic fibers—such as polyester or polypropylene—into a mesh-like base fabric, which is then filled with materials like gravel, concrete blocks, or geotextile bags as stabilizing loads. These flexible protective structures are fabricated through sewing or tying processes. They are primarily used in applications such as riverbed protection, coastal erosion control, and slope stabilization, where they help dissipate the impact of water flow, preventing soil erosion beneath the surface and ensuring the structural integrity of engineering projects.
