Product Information

In some cases, if adequately compacted, DSMs can result in a permanent repair if the location is not subject to heavy traffic. The time taken by the Cold Lay Macadam to harden fully will depend on the degree of compaction and ambient temperature. In summary, when correct application methods are not followed, such as being thrown into a defect or pothole with little or no compaction, no matter how permanent it is designed to be, it will more often than not be destined to fail. Made from a mix of bitumen, solvent and binder additive, most bagged asphalts are activated by compaction.

The workability of the Cold Lay Macadam will improve if the outside temperature is above 10°C (50°F).Another way of softening an unopened bag of hardened cold-lay asphalt is to expose the package to direct sunlight.
