Repair of cracks in asphalt
Why Repair Cracks in Asphalt?
-
The formation of cracks in the asphalt road layer significantly affects the service life and strength of road asphalt.
-
A holistic asphalt concrete canvas begins to collapse, like a puzzle, when cracks appear.
-
From the beginning, the cracks are small, then they increase in size to shells and potholes.
- Asphalt is subject to dynamic and thermal loads, therefore, to repair cracks, it is necessary to use special elastic sealing materials.
Solution
Carry out a test section for repairing and sealing cracks in asphalt using MasterSeal CR 125 , an elastic, ultraviolet-resistant bitumen-polyurethane sealant.
How to repair cracks in asphalt?
-
MasterSeal CR 125 is a self-levelling, bitumen-modified polyurethane elastomeric joint sealant.
- Resistant to weather conditions, UV radiation, aging caused by weathering.
Sealing joints in industrial floors
Scope of material
- Inside and outside, horizontal application.
- Shrinkage and deformation seams.
- Seams in industrial floors.
- Seams exposed to sunlight, water, chemicals, industrial waste.
- Runways and airfields.
- Roads and bridges.
- Terraces, balconies.
- Warehouses, garages.
- Gas station.
- Parking lots and areas with traffic.

Asphalt Crack Repair Technology
1. Jointing, cleaning, dedusting.
2. Laying a polypropylene bundle.
3. Pasting with adhesive tape along the crack.
4. Application of sealant.
After polymerization, the asphalt pavement will withstand all loads and will last for more than one year.
