Hi.
Earlier this year we launched RonaRoad GreenPatch Pothole Repair. It is supplied in a bag or bucket. Use to instantly fill and traffic potholes.
What makes it different to other products:
No petroleum cutback solvents
Long shelf life
Works in the hot and the cold to -20oC
No primer needed
No leaching of petrol solvents
Permanent (we've seen other "permanents" fail in a week)
Replacement product guarantee if it fails
Very pliable and therefore easy to pour and apply and compact
If you'd like to find out more drop me an email.

At long last, i have purchased some of this stuff, and will post photos of the pothole, and report its long term effectiveness.
The only problem with this stuff however, is that it is not stocked by many people, and the ones who do stock it, never get back to you. Its taken this long just to get a price out of them
If these new products are going to be successful, they MUST be readily available, or they just get forgotton

If you can't get hold of it locally give us a call and we can point you in the direction of a stockist or supply direct. I'm sure you'll be impressed with its ease of use and how long it lasts.

And for your information RonaRoad GreenPatch was used by Aberdeen Council in Scotland at -18oC and worked a treat. It's still down and standing up to the traffic despite being used when most products - even the industry standard products - couldn't be laid as it would have been too cold.
And they're still using it.

There is so much in the news about potholes, budget cuts, austerity, yet we see so many early-failure pothole repairs. Why?
Why are councils and their contractors using products which don't perform as claimed - described as permanent, yet failing within just days - and when the contractor is often paid again to go back and re-repair - oh, and the manufacturer sells another bag or three for the same repair.
Doesn't stack up.
But we're picking up sizeable business from local authorities who are taking the trouble to assess the success - or otherwise - of their road repairs. After having one of our free on-site demonstrations and seen the product perform for long enough, they switch to RonaRoad GreenPatch Pothole Repair and are very satisfied with the results.

What's the max depth it can be used on? That pot hole was a mere scratch bounced through one today in my navara went back and measured it and it was 75mm deep and full of water out in the peak district.

50mm per layer; compact each layer as you go.

Same old same old, you buy cheap ,you pay twice.
Seen lots of clown jobs since the roads broke up in the 2009 thaw / freeze winter.
Saying that, have seen some very, very professional resurfacing work done on a night time quick install since.

watched glasgow council road workers us a spray in tarmac machine on langside road and the finish looked ok until the aberdeen fans buses ran all over it.
