It's eco-friendly, economical and usually, the repaired area could be exposed to traffic in one or two hours.

 

How it operates

 

The region to become repaired is marked then heated having an infrared panel until it will become hot mix again, without burning the asphalt. The region will then be raked and extra hot mix is blended in. Next it really is leveled and smoothed towards the appropriate grade and compacted (edges first), making a thermal bond involving the patch as well as the existing asphalt. This reduces or eliminates the capability water to seep in to the seams, keeping it from reaching the base of the parking area, freezing and potentially causing further injury to your surface.
