POTHOLESS
The new cold-mix bituminous conglomerate, created with modified bitumen and structural fibres for urgent maintenance operations
Different in its raw materials, POTHOLESS is the first cold-mix bituminous
conglomerate created with bitumen modified with plastomers/polymers and
structural fibres suitably mixed with a mostly basaltic grit (size 0-8 mm) in a unique
production process. All this, besides giving the product excellent performance
alongside ease of use, bestows an unusual but refined opacity to this conglomerate.
This opacity provides superior performance compared to competitor products: it
means POTHOLESS does not stick to car tyres when traffic is reopened, avoiding
the usual unwanted results of grit crumbling and scattering on the road surface;
at the same time, it is this same feature which creates a strong link between the
conglomerate particles.
It can be used without the usual preventive actions such as cleaning the damaged
surface and removing water from the hole. Moreover, neither priming with bitumen
emulsion nor final machine compacting is required.
