QuikCaat - No Heat Pavement Repair Solution

---

QuikCaat™ (QC); is a uniquely designed over-banding asphaltic self-adhering mastic tape, that is permanently installed to and seal over pavement joints and cracks. The blended asphaltic tape is supplied in a roll-form that is packaged in 3 inch (76 mm) or 6 inch (152 mm) wide by 50 feet long (15.24 M). The composite tape material is composed of three layers. The top finished side is a stitch-bond wear mat and is undercoated with a specially formulated self-adhering asphaltic mastic. The bottom layer (selectively removed preceding installation) consists of a white glossy release liner, which is appropriately discarded waste. Installation is 3 step sequence. Peel back release liner:  Place self-adhering mastic on pavement:  Pressure applied by hand – foot – tool to the top wear mat of the tape and bonding it to the surface.

When QC asphaltic joint tape is used, the over-banded material essentially eliminates water infiltration of the joint/crack. Elimination of water ingress means that the pavement is less subject to the destructive forces associated with subbase movement and freeze and thaw cycles. Wet unstable subbases and soils are prone to rutting, sinking, and heaving. By minimizing water infiltration, the property owner minimizes expensive and extensive repair costs. Recognizing, costs vary depending on the scope of job and location, however the savings are readily apparent and measurable. The cost consideration comparison comes down to the price of a roll of mastic joint tape combined with one individual pressure applying the joint tape in preventive pavement preservation; compared against the cost of all the elements associated with asphaltic concrete repair; staging of skilled labor, equipment, permitting, excavation, hauling and disposal of waste and finally restoration of work site with placement and compaction of the subbase and top finished pavement.

QC Cold Applied Asphaltic Tape – DOES NOT REQUIRE HEAT!! DOES NOT REQUIRE A TORCH!! Preparation is limited to preparing a clean and dry pavement (when installing over cracks “best practice” recommends prepping the crack with a suitable filler). Quickly and Easily, remove the white release liner, roll the material out and apply weighted pressure to the top side on the wear mat, by foot, hand, or suitable device; the self-adhering asphaltic mastic is now bonded. That’s it, the pavement fault is permanently sealed. QC is a no heat, no flame, no propane torch, no equipment required pressure only installation.  Installation of:  Peel – Place - Press   50 lineal feet / 15.24 M roll of self-adhering asphaltic mastic tape, can be accomplished in under 5 minutes (after prepping / cleaning the surface).
