Asphalt Repair Solutions
High-Performance Polyurethane Polymers and Repair Slurries for High-Load Traffic Surfaces
Municipal roadways, arterial highways, aviation runways, and commercial loading docks are subjected to continuous mechanical load stresses and harsh climate cycles. Traditional bitumen patch compounds fail to bind correctly, creating recurring maintenance loops. GeoCHEM, Inc. supplies premium PERCOL Asphalt Repair Polymers—engineered compounds that restore structural integrity, seal out moisture, and achieve full load-bearing capacity in as little as 10 minutes.
Critical Asphalt Infrastructure Challenges We Mitigate
1. Deep Potholes and Progressive Aggregate Erosion
The Challenge: Minor asphalt imperfections quickly turn into deep potholes under heavy truck axles and impact loads. Left unaddressed, mechanical friction combined with stormwater sweeps away loose aggregate, creating structural voids that threaten vehicular safety and require total pavement demolition.
The GeoCHEM Solution: We supply professional-grade polyurethane slurries that permanently fill voids and lock matching aggregate in place. For rapid, pour-and-go applications, GeoFlo Rapid Asphalt Repair Slurry flows smoothly into small and deep potholes alike. It thoroughly encapsulates the surrounding asphalt without time-consuming saw-cutting or material removal, stabilizing the entire pavement section.
2. Severe Spiderwebbing and Active Alligator Cracking
The Challenge: Concentrated heavy loads over flexing, unstable subgrades cause networks of interconnected "alligator" micro-cracks. Standard crack fillers merely sit on top of this damage, tearing open again during normal thermal expansion and expansion cycles.
The GeoCHEM Solution: Our high-flexion, deep-penetrating liquid polymers weld failing segments back into a cohesive unit. For complex alligatoring, Alligator Glue functions as an industrial asphalt binder that creates a highly flexible, impact-resistant polymer concrete when combined with aggregate. For ultra-low viscosity requirements, Asphalt Welder penetrates deep into hairline faults, sealing out moisture and stopping propagation in its tracks.
3. Extensively Damaged Pavement Sections and Subgrade Shifting
The Challenge: Major structural faults and widespread pavement degradation typically require deep-plane milling and large paving machine callouts. These massive mobilizations drive project costs up and create long logistics bottlenecks on critical corridors.
The GeoCHEM Solution: We supply heavy-duty mass reconstruction polymers designed for automated machinery deployment. Using Elastic Cement AC paired with high-volume dispensing tools allows crews to repair wide-scale surface distress, bridge transitions, and severe ruts in single passes, avoiding costly removal.
4. Sub-Freezing Temperatures and Adverse Curing Environments
The Challenge: Standard asphalt emulsions and repair coatings require warm ambient temperatures to cure properly. Attempting field maintenance in freezing northern climates or during late-season drops causes improper chemical bonding, leading to immediate patch failure.
The GeoCHEM Solution: Our repair product line adapts dynamically to regional winter conditions. Blending Percol Cold Weather Catalyst into the polymer mix forces efficient chemical cross-linking even at temperatures well below 75°F. Paired with anti-skid Black Rock Aggregate, it yields an immediate, safe, and wear-resistant driving surface despite extreme subgrade chills.
