The only permanent Pothole repair solution

Why is Thermal Road Repairs the only true permanent pothole repair solution in the market?


Science!


Asphalt is a viscoelastic material (behaves like a solid when cold and viscous liquid when heated).


Applying the correct amount of heat to asphalt causes the asphalt binder to soften and decreases its viscosity, allowing it to flow more easily.


The asphalt binder then fills the tiny spaces (voids) between the aggregate particles in the asphalt mixture. This filling action allows the binder to come into close contact with the aggregate, and the resulting intermolecular forces create a strong adhesive thermal bond between the binder and the aggregate. 


This process is essential for repairing cracks through a process called "healing." 


And with the correct compaction the result is an homogenous repair with its surrounds with no seams to allow for water ingress, thus resulting in a permanent solution.
