APPLICATIONS
INFRARED TECHNOLOGY
The Infrared process works by using propane mixed with air to increase heat. In turn, this extreme heat is absorbed by a patented ceramic blanket that, when heated, emits approximately 18,500 BTU's per square foot. In less then ten minutes the blanket will heat the asphalt to 350 degrees 2.5" deep or the carfare course in an area as large as 102 square feet per ten minute heat. The infrared heat will not burn the asphalt. Therefore, the result is asphalt equivalent to fresh plant mix. In most cases, fresh mix is added from a heated hot box to bring the grade of the patch to the proper height. The patch is then compacted to form a seamless patch.

BENFITS
BENEFITS
​
Not only does infrared repair create a higher quality, long-lasting repair by establishing a thermal bond with the surrounding pavement pavement, preventing seams for water to re-enter and cause joint failure, but it also comes with numerous b\other benefits to you, your client, and the planet.
SAVE MONEY
​
Savings realized in materials, manpower and machinery make infrared the only choice if you are looking for greater value over more traditional methods.
SAVE TIME
​
Repairs can be made at a fraction of the time of conventional methods, and your road, parking lot, or driveway can be open to traffic immediately after.
SAVE RESOURCES
​
Recycling existing asphalt reduces waste by 80%, and less machinery is required to get the job done! That's something we can all feel good about!
