How to Use Quick Patch
- Comes in convenient ready to use packing of 50kg net HDPE bags with inside LDPE liner
- Preparation prior to repair is minimal. For optimum results, remove standing water/loose debris/dust with a brush from the pothole. However, where this proved impossible, repairs have always remained in excellent condition
- Pour Quick Patch directly from the bag into the pothole and overfill by 10mm
- Where deep potholes are to be repaired, it is economical to first compact approximately 10mm Quick Patch across bottom of pothole, then fill remaining cavity with 6/10 mm metal chips well compacted and then top with 25mm of Quick Patch as a final course
- Compaction can be done using a simple hand rammer. for large repairs, using a roller shall ensure smooth/even compaction. Do not use plate compactor
- Cures instantly and compacts further with traffic
- Open to traffic immediately since it does not stick to tyres
Quick Patch Usage Areas
In making cost comparison between Quick Patch and conventional hot and cold patch materials, it is a mistake to simply compare tonne for tonne. It is necessary to make on overall comparison taking into account equipment involved (jack hammer, compressor, truck, roller, traffic lights) wastage of material, man hours, durability of repairs, and traffic hole ups. Only then can accurate cost assessment be reached.
It has been shown that a substantial cost saving can be achieved using Quick Patch in preference to conventional methods.
