Our Cutback Asphalt – Cold Patch is a convenient, ready-to-use solution for temporary asphalt repairs in a variety of weather conditions. Engineered for ease of application, this material can be placed directly into potholes, trenches, or damaged pavement areas without the need for heating or specialized equipment.
Cutback asphalts are liquid asphalts manufactured by adding (cutting back) petroleum solvents to asphalt cements. These solvents reduce the viscosity of the asphalt, allowing it to be applied at lower temperatures. When applied to aggregate or pavement, the solvent gradually escapes through evaporation, leaving the asphalt cement residue on the surface.
Based on the rate of evaporation, cutback asphalts are classified into three types: Rapid Curing (RC), Medium Curing (MC), and Slow Curing (SC). This classification reflects how quickly the petroleum solvent evaporates and the asphalt cement residue develops after application.
This cold-applied asphalt patch is ideal for quick fixes and emergency repairs, helping restore safe driving and walking surfaces until permanent repairs can be completed. Its workable consistency allows for fast installation and immediate use, making it a go-to material for contractors, municipalities, and property managers.
Designed for flexibility and convenience, cutback asphalt performs well in both wet and dry conditions, providing a reliable short-term solution when time and accessibility are critical.
