Going “green” produces superior performance against traditional Cold Asphalt Instant Road Repair

A new road repair product has been produced which solves the problems associated with recurring potholes while at the same time being friendly to the environment. RonaRoad EcoPatch Pothole Repair offers a permanent green solution to the pothole problem faced by County Councils nationwide. Potholes often reappear only weeks after repair, particularly on busy roads. Why does this happen? Traditional cold-lay road repair products are made up of petroleum based solvents like diesel, toluene, kerosene and naphthalene to make them soft enough to use. As well as potentially leaching into the road and contaminating streams and rivers these toxic solvents can attack and eat away at the other components in the products. These toxic cutback solvents weaken the bond from the moment they are applied, one of the major reasons traditional pothole products fail. Good and green RonaRoad EcoPatch from Ronacrete does not contain these toxic solvents but uses a softener based on biodegradable plant extracts; as there are no cutbacks from the solvents this means the repair will be permanent and therefore cost effective as well as green. At the same time because of the lack of toxic components it is less polluting and therefore kinder to the environment - a truly green product. Managing Director of Ronacrete, Simeon Osen is delighted both with the products effectiveness and the fact it is environmentally friendly. “We all do our best to buy green products, but often their effectiveness does not match up to their less green alternatives. But in RonaRoad EcoPatch it is the very fact that the environmentally unfriendly solvents have been removed that makes it work better than other industry standard products. It is a win win situation for Ronacrete, road repair and the environment.” Specification RonaRoad EcoPatch has a zero VOC softener and no petroleum cutback, a 12 months bag shelf life (compared to one month on traditional road repair products) and no primer or over banding is required. It can be used in very cold weather (is workable down to -20ºC) and can be laid in the wet. As it is truly permanent (unlike many other products which claim to be), this reduces whole life costings. Confidence in comparison Ronacrete’s confidence in this product is so high that if anyone thinks they have a product that can match the RonaRoad EcoPatch they will undertake an on site product against product comparison test to prove its greater performance while at the same time being green. Ronacrete are also offering a 100% guarantee that if a RonaRoad EcoPatch Road Repair fails they will replace the product in full.
