About U.S. Cold Patch
U.S. Cold Patch is a cold asphalt repair material that repairs potholes and cracks on roads, bridges, parking lots, driveways and other asphalt and concrete surfaces. This product is unique. It is made from RAP—recycled asphalt pavement — which has been treated so that the hardened asphalt will re-bond when compacted.
U.S. Cold Patch is made without light distillate petroleum or biodiesel solvents found in other bagged cold asphalt products, called “cutback” asphalt. Cutback asphalt products cure through evaporation. U.S. Cold Patch cures through compaction.
Fast & Easy Pothole Repair
Road pros choose U.S. Cold Patch because it’s the fast, permanent, easy to use, environmentally preferable cold asphalt product. Independent testing and more than a decade of use on streets and highways around the world confirm that U.S. Cold Patch is the best road repair product on the market.
