The benefits of PAR

PAR is designed to provide a long-lasting and reliable solution to repair potholes in asphalt. Here’s why it stands out from other repair methods:

Instant and permanent fix

PAR provides an immediate solution to potholes and other asphalt damage, saving time and money. Its unique formulation ensures a long-lasting repair that outlasts the surrounding pavement.

No mixing required

PAR comes in convenient packaging and requires no mixing. This makes it easy to use, even for those not experienced in asphalt repair.

Versatile usage

Apart from repairing asphalt, PAR can also fix damage to concrete ramps and trip hazards. For concrete hole repairs, MG-KRETE is recommended for the best results.

All-weather application

PAR can withstand extreme weather conditions without compromising its performance, whether scorching hot or freezing cold. It remains stable, preventing cracks and water damage from deteriorating the repair. Its ability to perform in any season makes it a reliable and efficient repair solution.

Supports traffic immediately after installation

Unlike traditional repair methods that require a lengthy curing process, PAR allows traffic to resume almost immediately. This means minimal disruption and inconvenience to your daily life.

How to apply PAR in 3 simple steps

Applying PAR is a straightforward process that anyone can follow. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to get you started:

1. Clean the surface: Before applying PAR, ensure that the pothole and surrounding area are clean and debris-free. This will help create a strong bond between the repair material and the existing asphalt.
2. Apply PAR: Fill the hole with PAR in layers of 3 inches at a time. Tamp each layer until firm, with the final layer being 25% higher than the finished level.
3. Compact and Level: Compact the PAR-filled hole using a tamper roller or driving over it until you achieve the desired level. Once compacted, the repaired area is ready for traffic immediately.

Make sure to follow the complete instructions provided by COHE for optimal results. You can find them here.

Have you ever driven down a road or walked on a path only to be jolted by a sudden dip in the concrete? Potholes are a common issue that can wreak havoc on driveways, paths and roads.

How to identify a pothole quick-smart!

Accurately identifying potholes is the first step towards a successful repair. Look out for tell-tale signs such as cracks, depressions and loose gravel around any damaged area on your property. These signs are a typical indicator of weakened concrete that needs your immediate attention. By identifying potholes early on, you can prevent them from growing larger and causing more extensive long-term damage and requiring costly professional repair.

It’s not just about aesthetics, though. By promptly addressing potholes, you can prevent damage to your vehicles and reduce the risk of any accidents. Whether you have a busy driveway or live right on a public road, it’s essential to take action and fix those potholes before they become more troublesome.

PAR is specifically designed to permanently repair asphalt in all weather conditions; no primers are required. It has been proven to last longer than existing pavement and is capable of supporting traffic immediately following installation.

PAR can also repair holes in concrete, but we recommend MG-KRETE as being the best to use if you are looking for something to repair issues with concrete.

In addition to this, you will need basic tools like a shovel and tamper, as well as safety equipment such as gloves and eye protection. Before starting the repair, always ensure you have the necessary safety measures in place to protect yourself.

What are our top tips for a long-lasting repair?
