RESIFIL is a permanent, rapid-curing resin pothole repair system for asphalt, tarmac, concrete and repairs around metal ironwork. Designed for cold application without hot works or heavy equipment, it can be mixed and installed by one person and returned to traffic in around 20 minutes at normal ambient temperatures.
The three-component, self-priming system bonds strongly to existing asphalt and metal, can be applied to damp substrates and is suitable for repairs from 5–60 mm per layer.
RESIFIL develops high compressive, tensile and flexural strength while retaining sufficient flexibility to accommodate movement in the surrounding pavement.
Laboratory testing records:
In comparative testing, RESIFIL substantially outperformed the leading resin repair product tested, while providing 11 litres of repair material from a 20 kg pack compared with 8.4 litres for the competitor.
RESIFIL is self-priming and chemically bonds to asphalt and tarmac. Loose material should simply be brushed from the repair before application; routine cutting and squaring of the pothole is not required.
RESIFIL is cold-applied, eliminating the heating equipment and hazards associated with conventional hot asphalt repairs.
At 15–20°C, repairs are typically traffic-ready in approximately 20 minutes. Cure remains possible at lower temperatures, including 0°C, with an optional accelerator available to reduce low-temperature cure time.
The formulation is designed for resistance to freeze/thaw cycling, chemicals and road salt, with built-in flexibility to help accommodate environmental and substrate movement.
Pull-off adhesion testing recorded 4 MPa in accordance with ASTM D4541 / ISO 4624:2016. RESIFIL also bonds strongly to exposed metal, making it suitable for repairs around manholes, grates and other ironwork.
With the supplied non-slip aggregate, RESIFIL achieved a wet Pendulum Test Value of 60 when tested using the BS 7976 pendulum method.
RESIFIL is suitable for repairing damaged asphalt, tarmac and concrete in a wide range of commercial and private environments, including:
The brochure specifically states that cured RESIFIL can accept thermoplastic line-marking tape and highlights adhesion to tarmac, asphalt and metal grills.
No mixer truck, compactor or specialist installation equipment is required. A 20 kg kit can be mixed using a cordless drill and paddle, placed into the repair and finished with a trowel.
Premix the resin component with a drill and paddle, add the activator and mix thoroughly, then add the aggregate and continue mixing until uniform.
Pour the material into the damaged area, level and finish with a metal float or trowel.
Broadcast the supplied aggregate onto the surface immediately after finishing.
Allow the repair to cure according to ambient temperature before reopening to traffic.
RESIFIL is a three-component, resin-based repair system developed for permanent repairs to potholes and damaged asphalt, tarmac and concrete. It is cold applied, self-priming and designed to be installed without hot works or heavy compaction equipment. One 20 kg pack produces approximately 11 litres of repair material.
At around 15–20°C, RESIFIL can typically be returned to traffic in approximately 20 minutes. Cure time increases as temperature falls, but the system remains usable down to 0°C. An optional accelerator can be used to reduce cure times in colder conditions.
Yes. RESIFIL is designed to cure at substrate temperatures down to 0°C. At 0°C, typical cure time is around 60 minutes without accelerator and approximately 30–40 minutes with accelerator. At 5°C, typical cure time is around 45–50 minutes without accelerator.
Yes. The substrate may be damp, but standing water should not be present. Loose material should be removed before application. The brochure specifies dry or damp substrates as acceptable application conditions.
No primer is normally required. RESIFIL is self-priming and has been formulated to bond directly to asphalt, tarmac and exposed metal. Correct surface preparation is still important: loose material, dirt and contamination should be removed before application.
Not normally. The brochure states that cutting and squaring are generally unnecessary, although certain specifications or site requirements may still call for it. The repair should be cleared of loose material before RESIFIL is installed.
RESIFIL is suitable for tarmac and asphalt repairs and can also be used for concrete repairs and around exposed metalwork. Typical applications include car parks, private driveways, footpaths, high-traffic areas and repairs around manholes, grates and other ironwork.
Yes. The brochure specifically lists car park pothole repairs, private driveways, high-traffic areas and tarmac repairs among its intended applications. Its rapid cure makes it particularly useful where reducing closure time is important.
Yes. RESIFIL bonds strongly to exposed metal as well as asphalt and concrete, making it suitable for reinstatement and repair around manhole frames, drainage grates and similar ironwork. The brochure states that a separate primer is not normally required on properly prepared metal surfaces.
RESIFIL can be applied at approximately 5–60mm thickness in a single layer. Deeper repairs can be built up in additional applications, with each layer limited to approximately 60mm.
Coverage depends on the depth and shape of the repair rather than surface area alone. One 20 kg pack produces approximately 11 litres of repair material. This volume can be used to calculate the number of packs required for a particular pothole or repair. For example, 11 litres would fill a 1sq.m pothole to a depth of 11mm, or a 0.25sq.m pothole to a depth of 44mm.
Laboratory testing recorded a 24-hour compressive strength of 13.80 N/mm², tensile strength of 2.43 N/mm² and flexural strength of 5.00 N/mm². At seven days these values increased slightly to 13.84, 2.50 and 5.12 N/mm² respectively.
Pull-off adhesion testing recorded 4 MPa in accordance with ASTM D4541 / ISO 4624:2016. The formulation is designed to bond strongly to tarmac, asphalt and exposed metal.
Yes, when used with the supplied non-slip aggregate. Wet pendulum testing produced a Pendulum Test Value of 60, which the brochure classifies as excellent slip resistance. The aggregate should be broadcast onto the repair immediately after finishing.
RESIFIL is resin-rich and waterproof, helping seal the repair and reduce water ingress around the joint. Site or contract specifications may still require overbanding in certain applications.
Yes. Once fully cured, the brochure states that thermoplastic line-marking tape can be applied over RESIFIL using the appropriate thermoplastic gas torch and in accordance with the line-marking manufacturer’s instructions.
No hot box, compactor or other heavy equipment is normally required. The system can be mixed with a drill and paddle, placed into the repair, levelled and finished with a trowel or metal float.
No routine maintenance is required once the repair has cured and been returned to service
Standard RESIFIL is dark grey. Other colours may be possible subject to formulation constraints and order size.
