Drive Repair Asphalt

Hanson Drive Repair Asphalt is a 6mm grade ready to use cold lay asphalt for instant, temporary

repairs to domestic driveways and paths. Hanson Drive Repair Asphalt is produced using carefully

selected raw materials and strict quality control throughout each stage of the manufacturing process

to ensure a consistent final product is achieved.

 

APPLICATIONS

Hanson Drive Repair Asphalt is suitable for a number of domestic applications including repairing

driveways and footpaths and filling potholes.

 

PREPARATION

• Ensure the area to be repaired is dry and edges are solid/sound and not friable.

• Sweep the area and remove all debris including weeds and roots.

• NOTE: When overlaying very smooth surfaces such as concrete, the use of a spray-on bitumen

tack coat is recommended to extend the life of the repair.

 

APPLICATION

• Use a rake or spade to spread the Drive Repair Asphalt to the required thickness, remembering

to be slightly proud of the hole to allow for compaction.

• Use a flat heavy object for ‘tamping’ such as a tamper or mechanical plate compactor.

• Wet the tamper frequently to stop the Drive Repair Asphalt sticking to the tool and ‘picking up’

• NOTE: When repairing deep potholes (greater than 30mm) lay the Drive Repair Asphalt in two

stages. Ensuring the first layer is fully compacted before spreading the next layer and

compacting to the required finished surface level.

 

CONDITIONS OF USE

• Not suitable for heavily trafficked areas, or areas exposed to high stress such as turning.

• Protect the newly laid surface from caravan legs, motorbike kickstands and other similar high

loadings.

• Do not place heavy and sharp objects on the newly laid surface.

• Protect the newly laid surface from vehicle tyres and power steering action.

• Timber sheets can spread loading of vehicle tyres but will also reduce oxidation which is required

for the product to harden. Therefore do not leave permanently covered as this will extend the

time taken to fully harden.

• Drive Repair Asphalt should be placed within the temperature range of 5°C to 30°C.

• The workability of the Drive Repair Asphalt will improve if the outside temperature is above 10o

C.

• The material may be prone to marking and deformation during early life and warm conditions.

• The time taken to fully harden will depend on the degree of compaction and ambient conditions.

• Surface finish can be improved by further tamping.

• After prolonged storage or in cold conditions, it may be necessary to expose the bag of the Drive

Repair Asphalt to direct sunlight for 1-2 hours prior to opening to loosen the material and restore

workability.

 

STORAGE

Bags should be stored unopened, clear of the ground, undercover and protected from extreme

temperatures.

Hanson Drive Repair Asphalt can be stored for periods in excess of 6 months.
