Parking Lot Repair for Risk and Safety Teams
Watch the 30-second fix. Then request your free sample below.
No paving contractor, no closure. Just open, pour, drive.
When a trip-and-fall in a parking lot turns into a claim, the question usually isn’t whether the pothole was there. It’s when you found out about it, and how long it stayed open after that.
With a bag of Perma-Patch® on the maintenance shelf, the answer is the same shift.
The Gap Between Reported and Fixed
Most lot potholes sit for weeks for one reason: a paving contractor won’t mobilize for one hole. So it gets a cone, a work order and a spot on a list, while customers and tenants walk past it every day.

What Your Crew Needs to Fix It
No contractor needed
A hand tamper does it. So does a truck tire rolled over the patch a few times.
No heat, no cure time
It hardens under compaction, so cars drive on it as soon as it’s tamped.
Wet or cold
Installs from −5°F to 105°F and goes into holes with standing water, so a repair doesn’t wait out the rain.
About 6 sq ft per bag
One 60 lb bag fills roughly 6 square feet at 1 inch deep. Can be applied as thin as 1/4 inch.
Two years on the shelf
The 60 lb bag (PP-60-C) has a 2-year shelf life, with a best-used-by date printed on the bag.
Try it on one hole
Fill the worst hole in your lot with a sample bag and drive on it for a month.
Federal field test: failure rate after 4.5 years
In the Strategic Highway Research Program field trials, 65 percent of typical bagged cold patch repairs had failed after 4.5 years. Perma-Patch® Regular Mix: 22 percent, the lowest failure rate of every product tested.
Fewer failed repairs means fewer repeat trips to the same hole.

What Risk and Safety Teams Want to Know
Does this make us liability-proof?
No product can eliminate liability. What it can change is how long a known hazard remains open and exposed. That’s the part you can control.
Does it replace paving?
Perma-Patch® is designed to outlast the pavement around it. A reported hole gets closed now and stays closed until the lot is resurfaced.
Where do we buy it?
Through the Perma-Patch distributor network, with stocking locations across the U.S. and internationally. Find a distributor near you.
We manage a lot of properties. How much should we stock?
Start with a few bags per site so the crew never waits on an order. The rep who ships your sample will size it to your portfolio.
What’s in the sample?
One bag of Perma-Patch® Regular Mix. Your rep calls first to confirm the ship-to address.
