The objective of this study was to determine the effects of finishes applied to polyester fibers on the properties of asphalt binders and mastics.  Asphalt binders were mixed with finishes that were extracted from the fibers, and mastics were also made with binder and fibers (with and without finish) to isolate the effects of the finish.  The results indicated that crude source plays a significant role in how the fiber finish affects the binders and mastics.  Additionally different finishes had different effects on binder properties.  The major finding of this study is that different polyester fibers, even from the same manufacturer, may not necessarily perform the same in an asphalt mixture.  It is important to use fibers that are compatible with the particular asphalt binder that is being used because of the significance of the binder source on the interaction between the finish and the binder
