Cold Patch Mix Asphalt Additives & Adhesion Promoters

Pavement patching is one of highway agencies' most widespread and costly maintenance activities. As pavements age, patching is needed to fix potholes that develop. Most cold patching is a temporary fix that lasts only a few weeks and is primarily impacted by the fact that cold patching activities are usually conducted in less-than-ideal weather conditions when the pothole contains abundant water.

The key to better cold patch longevity and performance is the addition of the right adhesion promoter chemical, which allows the patch to displace water along the sides and bottom of the pothole and allows it to adhere correctly. Without the right adhesion promoter in the cold patch mix, the patch will not adhere well, and patch failure is imminent. Also, during patch performance, it is important that the adhesion promoter allows for proper cutback coverage on the aggregate and that it protects the cold patch from being susceptible to moisture damage after the patching mix is placed in the pothole.
