What Causes Potholes and Road Decay
Where do they come from?
- High Volumes of Load-bearing Traffic
- Poor Road Maintenance
- High Temperatures
- Extreme Weather Conditions
Why are we concerned?
Cracks starts to form on road surfaces as a result of the above. Water seeps through these cracks accumulating at the sub-base and lower levels of the road structure. In a short time, this weakens the road base and a pothole is born causing:
- High Frustration levels for Motorists
- Root Cause of many Road accidents
- Damage to Vehicles
- Invisible during Rainy conditions or at Night
- Negative Effect on the Economy and Companies in the Transport Industry
The Solution
APS Crack Filler
How Does It Work?
The cost of addressing minor deficiencies is much less than addressing major deficiencies. We have to do road maintenance when the roads are in fair-to-good condition, rather than waiting until they are in poor condition. A good time to do crack sealing is when an asphalt road or street is in fair to good condition. Along with proper drainage, crack sealing is probably the single most important maintenance activity. Most road distresses can be related to the intrusion of water into the structure. If water is kept out, the majority of distresses can be stopped or delayed. Crack sealing has two primary purposes:
- To prevent the intrusion of water through the crack into the underlying structure.
- To prevent extraneous materials from entering the crack and causing further deterioration as the road expands and contracts with temperature changes.
APS Crack Filler can be applied straight from any container bottle or bucket. Our mixture is shipped in 200l containers and from there it can be poured over into smaller containers.
The product is ready to use as is and depending on the size of the crack, it can be applied without any prior preparation.
It is, however, recommended to clean the crack with an air blower and removing of any organic material inside the crack before applying the APS Crack Filler.
Our highly effective concentrate will cover approximately 7metre per 1Litre.
