Oleophilic staple fibers useful in pavement for making and repairing geoways

Abstract

The invention provides polyolefin staple fibers especially useful for reinforcing pavement. The fibers have applied to their surface an amount of an antistatic finish sufficient to prevent the build-up of static electric charges when the staple fibers are fluidized or blown, and so diminish the resultant clumping of the blown fibers, while avoiding degradation of the nature of the fiber to adhere to paving compositions, and maintaining the adherence of the fibers to the pavement cement.
