Rugby Black Bitumen Macadam is a cold-lay, deferred-set compound formulated for ease of use, providing excellent results when repairing patches or refurbishing concrete surfaces. This versatile material is ideal for applications such as driveway repairs, pathway maintenance, and minor road repairs.

Key Features:

Ready to Use: No mixing required; apply directly from the bag.

Cold-Lay Application: Suitable for use in all weather conditions.

Typical Coverage: Approximately 0.45m² at a compacted 25mm thickness.

Set Time: Sets hard within 12 hours, depending on weather conditions.

Ideal For: Repairing tarmac drives, pathways, and minor road surfaces.

Usage Instructions:

Prepare the Surface: Ensure the area to be covered is free from weeds and grass. Sweep off all loose material and dust. For a neater finish, lay a stone or wood edging at the side of the path or driveway.

Apply the Material: Tip out the contents of the bag onto the surface. If the material has compacted slightly in the bag, break it down using the ball of your foot. Rake out carefully until the surface is covered to a depth of 30–35mm before compaction.

Compact the Surface: Use a roller or vibrating plate to compact the material thoroughly. Continue to roll in different directions until the Bitumen Macadam is 25mm thick.

Allow to Set: The surface can now be used, but care should be taken with heavy loads until the surface has set hard.
