Pothole repair

Pothole repair refers to the repair of potholes caused by cracks and water infiltration into the asphalt. This damage often occurs when water penetrates the asphalt, freezes during frost and expands, causing the asphalt to burst open. The following products are suitable for pothole repair.

Makabit®

We offer two products under the Makabit® brand. Firstly, the solvent-based Makabit82 ® Super, which we have had in our range since the 1980s and which can be used down to -20 degrees. Secondly, the solvent-free Makabit®+ (according to HrepA), which reacts purely with the air humidity and impresses with its high initial strength. Both products are single-component, belong to the cold mix category and are characterized by high stability.

The areas to be repaired must be free of "standing" water and other dirt, otherwise perfect adhesion cannot be guaranteed. For optimal results, we recommend priming the surface with ESTOL C40B5-S or ESTOL Haftgrund.
Only for Makabit +: to support or accelerate the hardening in dry weather, the material can be sprayed with water (approximately 0.5 l per container with 25 kg of mix) before compaction.
The further application is the same for both products. Both products must be temporarily tapped into place and compacted with a vibrating plate or tamper. The repaired area is then sprinkled with sand and can be driven on immediately. The final compaction is carried out by road traffic. Even at high temperatures in the summer months, deformation is no longer possible after hardening. A new top layer is created, for example, after shafts and gutter inlets have been raised and regulated. This also takes place after all excavations in traffic areas. Ramps and repairs are also carried out on industrial floors (including concrete) as well as on yard and garage areas.
Both products are recyclable and are available in the following grain sizes:
Makabit® 0/3 – installation depth up to a maximum of approx. 15 mm
Makabit® 0/5 – installation depth up to a maximum of approx. 50 mm
Makabit® 0/8 – installation depth up to a maximum of approx. 60 mm
Makabit® 0/11 – installation depth up to a maximum of approx. 80 mm

ESTOL-Biomak

ESTOL-Biomak is a reactively hardening asphalt mixture with chippings 0/2, 0/4, 0/8 and 0/11. The chippings 0/8 and 0/11 are particularly suitable for renovating and repairing open-pored asphalt (OPA asphalt). It can be processed cold and has a high initial stability after approx. 15 minutes. It also hardens quickly when water is added, which means that the material also adheres well to damp surfaces. ESTOL-Biomak is also free of volatile organic solvents (VOC according to H RepA). Thanks to the optimized recipe, ESTOL-Biomak can be used for all types of road surfaces such as chippings mastic, mastic asphalt and concrete. It is ideal for repairing and leveling unevenness and for eliminating damage in thin-layer surfaces. ESTOL-Biomak is also ideal for creating new surface layers after raising and regulating shafts and channels. Deeper damage can be levelled out using several layers of ESTOL-Biomak, or alternatively, chippings or gravel can be used as a base for a layer of Biomak.

The following products are available:
ESTOL-Biomak 0/2 : Installation depth up to 10 mm
ESTOL-Biomak 0/4 : Installation depth up to 40 mm
ESTOL-Biomak 0/8 : Installation depth up to 60 mm
ESTOL-Biomak 0/11 : Installation depth up to 80 mm

ESTOL Gussphalt

ESTOL Gussphalt is particularly suitable for the rapid repair of large damages in all road surfaces up to a depth of approx. 50 mm (deeper damages should be filled and melted in multiple layers with ESTOL cast asphalt). The granulate is melted with the addition of heat, for example by using our cast asphalt cooker, and then filled into the pothole. ESTOL cast asphalt is a pore-free, thermoplastic asphalt with a grain size of 0/4, is weather-independent and can therefore be used all year round and can withstand high mechanical loads within 10-20 minutes after installation. This is why ESTOL cast asphalt is also used for the permanent repair of damaged areas on areas subject to high mechanical loads such as roundabouts, truck entrances, motorways, federal highways, race tracks, airports, industrial halls (forklift traffic), etc. The same applies to filling boreholes and creating the new base layer after raising/regulating shafts, channel inlets, slide valve caps and ramps.
