The onset of winter often signals a slowdown, or even a complete halt, to essential road maintenance and pothole repair operations. Cold temperatures, snow, and the relentless cycle of freezing and thawing are notorious for undermining even the best conventional repairs. However, the need for safe, smooth roads doesn’t pause for the season.
There’s a new way to boost your repair results without changing your process. American Road Patch™ is the game-changing layer that works with your existing roadway repair products, embedding into the pavement to form a stronger, waterproof seal that lasts. It’s easy to apply, plow-resistant, and designed to extend the life of pothole, crack, and utility cut repairs, complementing, not competing with, your current lineup.
