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.

Know what's in your mix.

The ASTM standard is clear: 2.1 oz of pure aramid per ton of HMA — not a pound of blended plastic. ACE XP™ delivers it with precision dosing: a live reading every 10 seconds, never below the standard, and a daily production report that puts every ton and every dose on paper.

One pallet treats over 4,200 tons of asphalt. Independent testing shows up to 55% less fracture propagation. And with 38 mm fibre outperforming 19 mm at equal dosing — length matters.

Specify ACE XP™ Aramid Fiber, open specification, today. And follow the ASTM standard.

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.

Jimmy Coppa has been promoted to Sales Director, Texas and Oklahoma!

Jimmy didn't wait for the spec to open up — he opened it. He's driven ACE XP specification adoption across commercial and public works, and his work sits behind the ASTM standard for aramid-reinforced asphalt.

Be sure to stop by Booth 854 at PWX Expo Houston next week and meet him in person.

Texas and Oklahoma are two of the biggest paving markets in the country. Jimmy owns them.

Congratulations, Jimmy!

Meet the Surface Tech team at PWX 2026 and learn how to build an open aramid-fiber specification around performance, verification and taxpayer accountability.

Bring us your current cost per lane mile. We’ll show you the lifecycle difference.

WRITE THE PERFORMANCE STANDARD. KEEP THE SPECIFICATION OPEN.

Public agencies should be able to specify aramid fiber for HMA without locking taxpayers into a proprietary product.
ASTM D8395-23 establishes a clear standard:
• 2.1 oz of aramid fiber per ton of asphalt not 1lb
• Precision-metered dosing tied to plant production
• Daily Production Reports documenting every project
• Verification of what actually entered the mix

If your fiber supplier cannot document the dosage, how do you know what taxpayers paid for?
KNOW WHAT’S IN YOUR MIX.

Accountability does not stop at production. Longer-lasting pavement means fewer maintenance cycles, fewer lane closures and fewer work zones.

Fewer work zones mean less worker exposure on active roadways.

Public works agencies can:
• Protect taxpayer dollars
• Reduce lifecycle cost per lane mile
• Stretch maintenance programs further
• Serve more roads with the same budget
• Help keep crews off the road

The strongest endorsement in paving isn't a quote. It's a repeat order.

Every year, Advanced Asphalt returns to Martis Camp near Truckee — and every year the spec is ACE XP™ fiber-reinforced asphalt from Teichert Truckee.

Roads at 6,000+ feet: deep snowpack, aggressive plowing, brutal freeze-thaw. The fiber sections keep outlasting everything else.

The cheapest pavement is the one you never fix.
Longer life. Fewer callbacks.
A pavement failure two years after turnover is your phone call, your warranty conversation, and your reputation. ACE XP-reinforced mixes extend service life 20–30% — fewer callbacks, fewer escalations. Best in class for your customers and owners.

3,300 tons. 2 days. Zero process changes.

Spokane's Market Street got a rehabilitation built for heavy traffic and hard winters: ½″ PG 64H-28 100-gyro Superpave from Inland Asphalt + ACE XP™ 38mm fiber, placed with a full material-transfer paving train.

Here's what people miss about fiber: it keeps up. Full production speed, no slowdowns.
