Bitumend coldmix asphalt is a permanent pothole repair solution. It is super strong once compacted but yet easy to use when you open the bag. Not all coldmix asphalt products are made equal. This product outperforms just about every other solution on the market when it comes to fixing potholes. Coldmix Pothole Repair is perfect for contractors or DIY customers that have potholes to repair, edge breaks, small reinstatements on roads, carparks or driveways.
NB/ Minimum order = 50 x 20kg bags or 1 x 1 tonne bag
Recommended Depth of Coldmix
The depth of the hole should be between 3cm and 5 cm
Formula to Calculate the amount of coldmix required.
Weight(Kg) of Coldmix Needed = Depth(m) x Width(m) x Height(m) x 2000
e.g If your pothole is 5cm deep and is 2m x 2m
then 0.05m x 2 x 2 x 2000 = 400kg
Coverage for bulk orders
At a depth of 3 cm – a 1 tonne bag of coldmix will cover an area of 16m2.
At a depth of 5 cm – a 1 tonne bag of coldmix will cover an area of 10m2.

Step 1: Clean - Brush out any the debris. For pothole repair, where possible, it is recommended to create a
vertical edge to the hole for the asphalt coldmix to butt up against.
Step 2: Pour coldmix into the pothole and form a crown. Ensure the middle of the placed product is higher than thesides, by 5mm to 10mm depending on the repair area size. This will counteract subsidence caused by compacting.
Step 3: Compact using a tamper, steel wheel roller or drive over with a car. Suggest throwing some dust or sand over the coldmix before compacting. This helps stop the coldmix from sticking to the compacting tool.
TYPICAL APPLICATION
ADVANTAGES
COVERAGE:
We recommend a depth of between 30mm & 50mm.
Formula to Calculate how much you need:
Coldmix Required(kg) = Length(m) x Height(m) x depth(m) x 2000
e.g If I have an area 5m x 5m x 50mm deep
then 5 x 5 x 0.05m x 2000 = 2500kg of coldmix is required
Yield
Approximate yield for 20kg: 0.01m2
For bulk orders
At a depth of 3 cm - a 1 tonne bag will cover an area of 16m2.
At a depth of 5 cm - a 1 tonne bag will cover an area of 10m2.
IT COULDN'T BE EASIER TO USE:
1. Clean – sweep the hole clean of debris
2. Pour – open the bag and pour the contents into the pothole
3. Compact – use a vehicle ot tamper to compact
