Abstract

This report contains a product evaluation of Crafco, Inc., pothole repair systems. The pothole repair is a hot-applied elastomeric asphalt product. The hot asphalt is designed to be mixed with locally available aggregate to produce a permanent pothole repair. Before placing the product, the pothole must be properly cleaned and prepared. A test section of Crafco's product was placed on I-17 in Phoenix. The product was evaluated for eighteen months. The pothole repairs performed well under heavy traffic conditions. Based on the field performance, the Arizona Transportation Research Center recommends that Crafco's pothole repair be considered for use on future maintenance projects.
