What’s in Asphalt in a Bag

A ready-to-use pre-mix of selected aggregates, bitumen and a co-polymer. The polymer drives curing on compaction and makes the mix adhere to itself and to asphalt, concrete, steel and wood. A high fines content (sand and cone dust) fills voids, keeping air and water out — which is why you can use up to 20% less than other products.

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.
