Asphalt Cold Patch

Quick Overview

• Preparation : Simply sweep out the area to be repaired with a bristled brush or broom. It is a good idea to remove any loose debris, dirt, ice, or standing water from the area to be repaired. This action will promote good adhesion and bonding.
• Application : No heating or mixing is required. Simply shovel into the pothole, crack, or rut, straight from the container. If the fault is especially deep, i.e. over six inches, apply in two inch layers, compacting each layer in succession. Shovel enough material into the fault to slightly crown the "patch". When completed compress the "patch" with the pneumatic tamper. Area can be opened to traffic immediately.
• Coverage : Depth and width of pothole, crack, utility cut etc. will greatly influence the coverage rate achieved. As a rule however, a three gallon pail of Asphalt Cold Patch will fill a two inch deep hole, four square feet is size.
• Color : Black
• Drying Time : Immediate, following compacting of material.
• Clean up : All tools should be cleaned immediately after use with a solvent base cleaner such as varsol, paint thinner or mineral spirits.
• Storage : Always keep container tightly closed when not in use to prevent "hardening" over long periods of storage.
• Packaging : Asphalt Cold Patch is available in three gallon and five gallon pails.
