How to Repair Asphalt with FloMix
FloMix is a rapid asphalt repair. With no saw cut or demolition required, prep is quick and easy, usually just blown air. Damaged areas return to traffic in a fraction of the time of traditional repairs. The polymer based repair works where there is a lot of movement, a damaged base, no heavy rolling equipment, or where other asphalt repair materials have failed.
Step by step
Each FloMix kit contains 1/2 gallon of polymer A, 1/2 gallon of polymer B, 30 pounds of coated aggregate and 12 pounds of topping sand.
Blow the repair area clean and dry. No dig out or removal is necessary. Spray any tools you will use with release agent.
If you are using the motorized mixer, set the empty 5 gallon pail on it. If you are using a drill mixer, set the pail on the ground. Carefully pour in the A side polymer.
Pour the 30 pounds of specially coated sand into the pail, covering the A side to prevent splashing. Mix the sand and part A for 2 minutes. Nothing reacts until the B side is added.
Add the B side polymer, put the paddle in the pail and mix for 1 minute. The mix is now reactive, with about 8 to 10 minutes of working time.
If you are using the optional 25 pounds of 3/8" aggregate, pour it in slowly and mix for one minute. This raises the volume from 1/3 to 1/2 cubic foot per pail.
Once fully mixed, remove the paddle and wipe it with a dry cloth. Do not use water or a damp cloth. The mix is ready to place.
Pour the mix directly into the damaged area and let it settle to grade. Empty the pail completely. Tools can be sprayed with vegetable oil as a release agent.
Use a hand trowel or squeegee to feather the mix into the existing asphalt. Working time is 5 to 8 minutes, depending on the temperature.
Once it is feathered to grade, broadcast the 12 pounds of polymer coated topping sand to the point of refusal. Use all of the topping sand.
The topping sand creates a high traction surface. Clean up with a dry cloth, not water. Once dry, dispose of the bottles and pail normally.
Once cured, the area can return to traffic in as little as 10 to 15 minutes. Sweep away any excess topping sand. Catalyst is available for cold weather.
