Benefits of cold asphalt
Easy to use – theasphalt mixture is completely ready for use. Weather conditions did not affect the adhesion of the mass of cold asphalt to the edges of the hole and the base.
To perform the work requires no special preparation of pit and pothole surfaces or use bulky equipment. Simply place the asphalt mixture into the pit, flatten and ram. Traffic can be resumed immediately after work completion!
Repair rain or shine all year round. Air temperature during operation can range from - 30°C to +40°C.
Saving materials, money and time – the use of cold mix asphalt allows you to conduct fast patching of any pit of any shape and almost 2 times to save on material consumption and use of special equipment.
Convenient packaging
- In plastic bags of 20 kg. This amount is sufficient to repair the pit area of 0.3 m² at a depth of 5 cm.
- In "big bags" of up to 500 kg. You can order any necessary weight.
