Built for working sites

There’s no plant, no heating and no tack coat, so one person can make a permanent repair and reopen the area straight away. Apply it anywhere from -26°C to 49°C, in the wet or the heat, and keep sealed stock on hand for up to 12 months.

Choosing the right gauge

Mix	Compacted lift	Best for
5 Gauge	12.5–20mm	Shallow repairs and fine finishes (made to order)
7 Gauge	17.5–28mm	Driveways, footpaths, shallow potholes
10 Gauge	25–40mm	All-purpose pothole and road repairs
14 Gauge	35–56mm	Deeper potholes and heavy-duty repairs

Why Asphalt in a Bag

Permanent. Expands and contracts with the road surface, so the patch moves with the pavement instead of breaking away.
Cures on impact. Curing is activated by compaction — tamp it or roll it and it sets.
Bonds to anything. Adheres to asphalt, concrete, steel and even wood.
Any weather. Apply from -26°C to 49°C, in rain, or straight into a pothole full of water.
No tack coat. No pre-coating or priming. Open, pour, compact.
Traffic-ready. Application is up to five times faster, and it can take traffic immediately.
