Whether it’s a major highway, a commercial property, a back road or even a parking lot, at some point an asphalt surface will require repairs. Rather than spend thousands of dollars to rip up the old surface and redo it, infra-red patching offers a practical, cost effective solution. So How Does Infra-red Patching Work? It works by fusing the existing surface with new asphalt that binds the two together.
When a road surface is repaired using infra-red technology, the final product is a seamless surface that looks and functions like a brand new one. In order for the infra-red process to work, the top couple inches of the damaged asphalt must be heated with infra-red rays to a temperature of 325 degrees. Once the surface is hot enough, a layer of hot asphalt is poured over the existing surface and compacted down to form a smooth new top layer. The process is quick, and the new asphalt can be driven on shortly after the surface has cured.
So once again, How Does Infra-red Patching Work? It works by penetrating deeply through the damaged layer and uniting the old worn out surface with new asphalt. By using infra-red technology, no burning or bubbling occurs in the asphalt while the old and new layers are combined. It locks out water by sealing the cracks, potholes and other blemishes, creating a completely new surface as it does. The old asphalt and new hot-mix asphalt become one material, so separation doesn’t happen afterwards, especially when severe weather and temperature changes occur.
