- 15 minutes cure time
- 9 end of life tyres in every ton
- 70% reduction in fossil fuels per sqm of repair
- 0 excavations and waste
- The CO2 savings are equivalent to incinerating over 10,000+ waste tyres
Ideal for
Joints, kerb channels, potholes, cracks, shallow surface defects around iron works and footway repairs.
Traditional patch repair, repairing 29m² a day at 40mm depth, would require waste disposal of 3 tonnes of asphalt, replacing with 3 tonnes of fresh asphalt from the nearest asphalt plant, the energy produced to process this would burn 891kgs of fossil fuels every day. In carbon terms, that’s the equivalent to incinerating over 40 tyres every day.
