Questions, answered from the technical pack.

Yes. Aqua Patch is water-activated and can be applied in wet conditions or directly into a water-filled pothole. Excess water is acceptable; standing water does not need to be pumped out.

Straight-line traffic can drive over the repair immediately after watering and compaction. It is hard as a rock an hour later. Allow about 2 hours at intersections and in areas where wheels turn on the patch.

Use at least 1 L of water per 20 kg bag. Around 1.5 L is typical, and 2 L is a safe field rate. Excess water will not damage the repair. The site calculator uses 2 L per bag as a conservative allowance.

Unopened bags have a 12-month shelf life from the manufacturing date. Once opened, use the bag promptly and seal any remainder tightly; moisture in the air will begin the curing reaction.

Store in a dry, weather-protected area away from direct sunlight and rain. Do not stack more than 10 bags high, and do not stack pallets — the weight can create pinholes in the packaging and affect workability.

The 5 mm mix is suitable from 20 mm thick and the 13 mm mix from 30 mm. Where the repair exceeds 50 mm, place and compact the product in layers. Fill to about 30% above the surrounding surface for compaction.

The product is workable in wet or dry conditions and down to −15 °C. Cure rates slow at lower temperatures. Follow the current technical data and project requirements.

Aqua Patch is manufactured in Tokyo by Maeda Road Construction Co., Ltd. and distributed internationally by JALUX Inc. Y Block Pty Ltd holds the exclusive importation and distribution rights for Australia and New Zealand.

Yes. SAMI Bitumen Technologies tested Marshall stability (5.0 kN average) and resilient modulus (1,900 MPa) after 7 days ambient cure. A Road Science wheel-tracking assessment recorded 1.5 mm rut after 24 hours conditioning at 40 °C, with 2.2 mm unconditioned. The reports are available on the technical data page.

Aqua Patch is supplied in 20 kg bags, 60 bags per 1.2 t pallet. Standard dispatch is ex Melbourne, with Caboolture stock available on request. Freight is quoted separately based on quantity and destination.

Yes. Pallet quantities can be paid for online by card through the secure eWAY payment page. Direct debit and account terms can be arranged for larger or repeat orders.
