Cold mix asphalt is the go-to solution for fast, reliable pavement repairs when hot mix isn’t practical. Whether you’re fixing potholes after heavy rain or reinstating a utility trench, cold mix asphalt like Boral’s UltraPatch™ delivers convenience and durability without heating equipment.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare the Area
Clear the pothole or damaged section of loose debris, standing water, and any unstable material. A clean base ensures proper bonding.
2. Apply UltraPatch™ Cold Mix Asphalt
Pour the material directly from the bag or bulk container into the repair area. For deep holes, apply in layers of 25–50 mm.
3. Compact Each Layer
Use a hand tamper or plate compactor to achieve a dense finish. Proper compaction is critical for durability.
4. Finish and Open to Traffic
Lightly dust the surface with sand if immediate traffic is expected. UltraPatch™ allows reopening almost immediately after compaction.
