Cold patch, also known as cold asphalt, is a
material used for temporary pothole repair, particularly in colder weather
or when a quick fix is needed. It's a convenient option because it can be
applied without requiring specialized equipment or heating, and it can be
used immediately after application.
Key Features of Cold Patch:
Temporary Repair: Primarily used for quick fixes and pothole
repairs during cold weather.
No Heating Required: Applied directly to the asphalt without needing
to be heated.
Immediate Use: Ready for traffic shortly after application.
Not Permanent: Expected to last a season or two.
Cost-Effective: A less expensive option compared to hot-mix
asphalt for temporary repairs.
Recycled Materials: Often made with recycled asphalt.
When to Use Cold Patch:
Colder Weather: Effective in cold temperatures when hot-mix
asphalt is not feasible.
Quick Repairs: Ideal for temporary patching when quick fixes
are needed.
When Hot-Mix Asphalt is Not Available: A good alternative when hot-mix asphalt is not
readily available.
How to Apply Cold Patch:
Prepare the Surface: Clean the area around the pothole and remove any
loose debris.
Apply the Patch: Pour the cold patch material into the pothole
and spread it evenly, ensuring adequate depth.
Compact the Patch: Use a tamper or drive a vehicle over the patch
to compress it.
Allow to Cure: The patch will harden as it's exposed to air and
traffic.
