INTRODUCTION: LET’S GET ONE THING STRAIGHT—WE’RE JUST BETTER.
At Surface Tech, we don’t just manufacture dosing equipment—we define performance standards. Our precision systems represent the core of what we stand for: unwavering compliance, unmatched consistency, and complete transparency. These aren’t add-ons—they’re the minimum acceptable standard in an industry where “close enough” is never good enough.
With our technology, you don’t have to guess what’s going into your mix. Surface Tech’s systems deliver exactly 2.1 oz of pure aramid fiber per ton of asphalt, and back it up with real-time dosing data every 10 seconds. Daily reports. Verified QA. Full ASTM D8395-23 compliance.
Compare that to the old manual method: tossing bags of loose aramid blended with plastic? No metering. No quality assurance. No accountability. And frankly, no place in a modern, performance-driven operation.

STORAGE, SHIPPING & EFFICIENCY: WHY 1 BOX BEATS 6
Let’s talk logistics. A single 45 lb box of ACE XP™ from Surface Tech treats 211 tons of asphalt. The competition? You’ll need six boxes to treat just 35 tons—a polyolefin-heavy blend that eats up your space, time, and budget.
Here’s why size matters:
-
6X less storage space
-
Fewer pallets = reduced freight costs
-
Lower labor burden = faster handling
This isn’t just smarter—it’s operational and economic common sense.
FLY-AWAY FIBERS? NOT WITH SURFACE TECH ARCA™
You can't reinforce asphalt if your fibers never make it into the mix.
“Fly-away” refers to fiber loss during production, often from airborne particles or baghouse capture. The result? Wasted materials and unreliable results. But Surface Tech’s ARCA™ solution eliminates that risk.
-
Melts cleanly at >170°F
-
Releases zero VOCs
-
Leaves no residual plastic or pollutants
Our proprietary wax coating ensures that every fiber makes it where it counts—in the pavement. That’s performance without compromise.
PRECISION DOSING ISN’T OPTIONAL—IT’S OPERATIONAL INTEGRITY
Manual dosing may have been tolerated in the past—but today’s industry demands precision.
Surface Tech’s dosing systems offer:
-
10-second interval reporting
-
Daily QA production reports
-
Full sync with batch and drum plants
This is not a feature—it’s the foundation of operational integrity. Anything less is unacceptable when you're aiming for ASTM-level compliance.
PERFORMANCE BACKED BY SCIENCE: ROWAN UNIVERSITY VALIDATES THE DIFFERENCE
Independent, peer-reviewed research from Rowan University compared Surface Tech’s ACE XP™ to a polyolefin-blended aramid fiber. Using advanced Digital Image Correlation (DIC), the results were clear: Surface Tech outperformed the competition across key performance metrics.
When real-world testing meets real innovation, only one name comes out on top.
