Mastic Repair
A "one time" application of hot pour mastics permanently restores performance to pavements with defects while also waterproofing the repair. No other current material or pavement preservation method provides the same combination of COST EFFECTIVE, FAST, PERMANENT, VERSATILE repair.

Important Mastic Products
-
Mastic Trailers - Used to heat and mix the mastic material before it is applied. Many trailers allow you to dispense material directly onto the repair area.
-
Mastic Dispenser - Must be used in conjunction with a mastic trailer because it does not mix material. Material from a trailer is poured into this unit so it can be applied in various, hard-to-reach areas.
-
Hand Tools - Used to spread and smooth mastic material on the repair area. These must be heated prior to use so material does not stick to them.
-
Gap Primer - Should be sprayed onto repair area before mastic material is applied. It can increase the longevity of the repair by 2-3 years.
-
Mastic Material - This product is melted and applied to the repair area. It is what fills & seals the repair area.
-
Topping Stone - (optional) Used to coat the top of the mastic repair area. It allows for faster rideability, reduces any "tackiness" from the material, and is generally is closer to the surrounding road color.
