Perma-Patch, LLC is thrilled to announce that its groundbreaking product, 6690 ColdFuze, has become the first cold pour crack sealant to meet the rigorous ASTM D6690 standard for crack sealants and ASTM C920 standard for joint sealants. This milestone underscores Perma-Patch’s dedication to innovation and excellence in asphalt and joint sealing solutions.

Understanding ASTM D6690 and C920 Standards

The ASTM D6690 standard sets the benchmark for performance in crack sealants used on asphalt pavements, while ASTM C920 is the standard for elastomeric joint sealants used in building construction. Meeting these standards ensures that products can withstand harsh environmental conditions and deliver lasting repairs. For years, the industry has relied on hot pour solutions to meet these standards, but Perma-Patch has now successfully introduced a cold pour alternative that covers both crack and joint sealing.

Introducing 6690 ColdFuze

6690 ColdFuze is a revolutionary product for asphalt maintenance and joint sealing. Unlike traditional hot pour sealants, ColdFuze offers the convenience of a cold pour application while delivering superior performance. This innovation not only simplifies the repair process but also enhances safety by eliminating the need for heating equipment.

Comprehensive Test Results

The performance of 6690 ColdFuze was rigorously tested by PRI Asphalt Technologies, Inc. The results speak volumes about the product’s quality and reliability:
  • Cone Penetration: Demonstrated excellent consistency with a maximum of 24 dmm at 25°C for the black variant and 27 dmm for the gray variant.
  • Softening Point: Exceeded the minimum requirement with a softening point over 400°F.
  • Resilience: Surpassed the minimum resilience requirement, achieving 65% for the black variant and 66% for the gray variant.
  • Asphalt Compatibility: Passed all tests, confirming no adverse reactions with asphalt.
  • Bond Test: Successfully passed the bond test with 50% extension cycles at -29°C.
  • Flexibility: Maintained flexibility down to -26°C.
  • Tensile Adhesion: Showed impressive tensile adhesion of 549% for the black variant and 360% for the gray variant.
These results validate the superior performance and durability of 6690 ColdFuze, positioning it as a game-changer in asphalt repair.

Implications for the Industry

The introduction of 6690 ColdFuze marks a significant advancement for the asphalt maintenance and joint sealing industry. By meeting ASTM D6690 and ASTM C920 standards, ColdFuze offers a reliable, efficient, and safer alternative to traditional hot pour sealants. This breakthrough will likely lead to widespread adoption, improving the longevity and performance of infrastructure.
