Asphalt Infrared Patching

Asphalt Infrared Patching

Sealcoating and crack repair are extremely lucrative business ventures. But let's face it, you can only conduct crack filling and asphalt sealing during spring, summer, and certain days during fall. Once the temperature begins to drop, it's time to put your tools and equipment in storage.

But with the asphalt infrared patching, you can conduct pothole repairs all year long.

What is asphalt infrared patching?

Is your parking lot or driveway riddled with potholes and depressions, and do you want to repair it yourself? Or maybe you're a sealcoating contractor, and you want to provide asphalt repair services even in the middle of winter.

If the answer is yes to either of these questions, then you'll definitely find asphalt infrared patching supplies and equipment a must-have in your arsenal.

Infrared patching is the process of fixing asphalt depressions and potholes using special infrared equipment.

Thanks to infrared patching, you don't have to spend thousands of dollars repaving damaged sections of your parking lot. The whole process is fast, convenient, and best of all, it could save you thousands of dollars.

Asphalt Millings Rejuvenator

An asphalt millings rejuvenator acts as a bonding agent for grounded recycled asphalt used in driveways. But it doesn't just serve as a binder. As the name suggests, it also brings back the asphalt's rich, dark color to make it look new again.

Our infrared asphalt repair rejuvenator is available in five-gallon pails that are safe to use and emit a minimal odor. Just mix it with water, spritz it into the work area, rework the asphalt, and let the area cure for a few minutes before using the area again.

36" Asphalt Light Lute

Your asphalt infrared patching kit is incomplete without our 36" Asphalt Light Lute. Also known as asphalt rake, this tool is used to rework the softened pavement surface.

The 36" wide head is made of heavy-duty magnesium and features a durable 84" aluminum handle. This is a double-edged lute with sharp tines, so you can easily rework the heated area.

Asphalt Kingdom's asphalt tamper tool is made of durable and solid welded steel and features a rubber handle for improved grip while working.
