ASPHALT MASTIC: THE MATERIAL THAT BINDS

We’ve all been hearing a lot about asphalt mastic lately, as it has become more popular than ever – and with good reason. With proper technique, mastic can help repair significant cracks and also seal patches more thoroughly, helping to ensure a longer-lasting repair.In short, mastic is the glue that binds.

When you use concrete or asphalt for repairs, the road or sidewalk is left with gaps, as the materials are porous by nature. Asphalt mastic provides a much-needed seal to further protect the road, and sometimes can be used to fill a larger space.

Mastic, a generic term for durable surface material made of mineral filler and asphalt binder, is especially suitable for heavily trafficked roads. The polymer-modified binder consists of engineering aggregate and is poured hot. When properly applied, asphalt mastic repairs can last longer than five years.

Mastic is also ideal when a repair is too small for a full replacement but too large for crack sealing, and it can be used to repair areas where concrete has shifted.
