How to repair potholes on roads in a quality and durable way even in winter? Using our microwave technology and special warm packaged asphalt mixture

27. 11. 2025 Crest Communications

In winter, potholes and cracks appear on the roads, which road workers temporarily seal with a mixture of aggregate coated with cold-processed asphalt emulsion (packaging plants with warm asphalt mixture are closed in winter). However, the use of poor-quality material and inappropriate technology only leads to the situation that roads are often in worse condition after winter than before.

The solution is continuous care for roads using our FUTTEC microwave technology. We use a special warm packaged asphalt mixture, which is gently and evenly heated in a microwave furnace. It is part of the accessories for the FT-3 “microwave patcher”, or a separate mobile set suitable for repairs of lower-class roads. Thanks to our logistics centre, road managers have year-round access to this mixture in the required volume, bagged in 25 kilograms. This means they can use the warm packaging even in the winter season, and in addition, they do not create unnecessary waste or costs for unused material.
