Traffix Frequently Asked Questions
QUESTION: What is TRAFFIX? ANSWER: TRAFFIX is a blend of selected aggregates and treated asphalt with an exclusive PACE compacting agent, SR-3. QUESTION: What does TRAFFIX do? ANSWER: Quickly, economically, permanently eliminates chuckholes in blacktops or concrete surfaces in all kinds of weather. QUESTION: Why is TRAFFIX better than conventional mixes? ANSWER: TRAFFIX is specially formulated for use year round, in sub-freezing temperatures. Wet or dry, hot or cold, TRAFFIX is quick, sure, easy and permanent. Stores perfectly in small space - always ready for instant use. QUESTION: How is the chuckhole prepared before applying TRAFFIX? ANSWER: TRAFFIX guarantees a faster, easier application. You just sweep out the hole and shovel in the TRAFFIX. You don't have the extra expense of a bond or primer. TRAFFIX's primer is built in. QUESTION: How do you compact TRAFFIX? ANSWER: No expensive equipment required - tamp with back of a shovel or use a 4" x 4" - or lay down a board and drive car wheels back and forth over the patch. QUESTION: Why is it necessary to tightly compact TRAFFIX? ANSWER: Compaction provides the catalyst that binds TRAFFIX into a permanent part of your blacktop, permanently - eliminating that chuckhole. QUESTION: Can TRAFFIX be used for resurfacing an entire blacktop? ANSWER: No. TRAFFIX is recommended for filling chuckholes. It is not for resurfacing or leveling large areas. QUESTION: How long before traffic can be allowed to drive over the TRAFFIX patch? ANSWER: Immediately. The traffic will level and compact the patch. QUESTION: How big a chuckhole can be repaired with TRAFFIX? ANSWER: A chuckhole measuring up to 3' x 3' is a reasonable size for efficient repair. Once you get into an area bigger than that, compaction is difficult, and resurfacing is recommended. QUESTION: When do you recommend gravel and why? ANSWER: For a chuckhole over 4 inches deep, place a 2-inch layer of TRAFFIX at the bottom of the chuckhole - tamp - fill with crushed rock up to within 2 inches of the surface - tamp - fill with TRAFFIX and tamp well - open to traffic. QUESTION: What about cracks in the blacktop or cement area? ANSWER: TRAFFIX is recommended for repair of cracks 1/2" wide and 1/2" deep or larger. 1 gallon of TRAFFIX will fill a crack approximately 1/2" wide, 2" deep and 24' long.
