Q12: I am concerned about "greenwashing." Is your product really green?

A: Yes!

And yes, we include recycled asphalt. We use recyclable bags. We have drastically lowered our use of fossil fuels in production. Cold Mix Manufacturing has greatly reduced our carbon footprint and we are constantly looking for new ways to positively impact our environment.

Q13: How is GreenPatch® installed?

A: GreenPatch® is installed in 2” increments then compacted for performance. Always (crown) the surface area ½" - 1” above surface to allow for secondary compaction. Remember, more compaction means better results.

Q14: I installed GreenPatch® on my driveway and it is still soft?

A: To speed up the cure time, sprinkle the repaired area with a thin layer of Portland cement or Mortar dust. The cement or mortar will also help to smooth out the repair and enhance the appearance.

Q15: How long until GreenPatch® sets up?

A: When compacted, the liquid asphalt and aggregate in GreenPatch® become stable enough to immediately handle traffic. The surface of the patch will cure over time to the hardness of the surrounding pavement. Below the surface, the GreenPatch® will cure at a much slower rate, which permits the patch to move with the surrounding pavement during expansion, construction and weathering.

Q16: How long does GreenPatch® stay fresh for in a bag?

A: 1 Year.

Q17: Can I put GreenPatch® in a pothole with standing water?

A: YES, GreenPatch® is designed to displace water from the hole, Follow the 3 step installation instructions. LINK TO INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
