Our country’s roads and bridges are in need of repair. Long gone are the days of quick fixes and government handouts. Repairs must last longer and be done correctly to begin with. Tight budgets and shrinking revenues necessitate a solution that is both economical and long lasting. Thanks to new products hitting the market, long lasting road repair can now be achieved – and at a much lower cost than previously thought possible. Let me explain…
Studies show, that pre-heating cold patch road repair mixes will significantly help in the bonding process and shorten the time of the cure. Results have been unanimous in favor of a pre-heated device to aid in the curing of asphalt, cold patch and other road repair mixes.
BEST SOURCE FOR HEATING ASPHALT & COLD PATCH:

Two methods can be employed when pre-heating cold patch and asphalt mixes.
1) Heated HotBox Enclosures
2) Horizontal Curing Blankets
Both methods offer a uniform, directional layer of even heat which will cure and/or pre-heat the mix as needed.

Honorable Mentions: CureMAX™ Cold Weather Thaw & Cure Thermal Blankets since 1965
HOW THEY WORK: CureMAX™ blankets do not require a thermostat. Temperature beneath the blanket will consistently be 50°F to 60°F above ambient outdoor air temperature. Tarps or insulated curing blankets placed over the top of CureMAX™ will increase the temperature under the blanket on average an additional 10°F to 15°F.
For example, when outdoor temperatures are 10°F… you can expect CureMAX™ to be @ 60°F to 70°F under the blanket. Add an insulated tarp or blanket on top and the temperature will raise another 10 degrees.
