How is Perma-Patch® different from a standard cold patch?
2. Why should I use Perma-Patch®
for my patching requirements instead of hot mix asphalt?
3. Who uses Perma-Patch®, and how
long has it been used?
4. Why do utility contractors find
Perma-Patch® to be a superior patch material?
5. Once Perma-Patch® is placed,
how long must we avoid driving over the Perma-Patched area?
6. At a later date, can we resurface
over areas repaired with Perma-Patch®?
1. How is Perma-Patch® different from a standard cold patch?
Perma-Patch® is an extremely unique, completely new type of paving
material which cannot be compared to standard "cold patch" which
sets up by evaporation of the hydrocarbon solvents contained in it. The
usual cold patch is more like candy popcorn which holds together temporarily
but rapidly disintegrates because of lack of cohesion. Perma-Patch®
is composed of specially treated asphalt, special aggregate, and chemicals
plus pressure-sensitive plastics. It is not temporary pavement, but a
permanent paving. It adheres so strongly that a very slight shallow dip
can be leveled by placing a very thin layer on the street surface, and
it stays there. Perma-Patch® can be used even in standing water with
no adverse effects. No tack coat or any other type of adhesive is required
as a bonding agent between the existing pavement and the Perma-Patch®
material.
