PAVING AND SEALING COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF USE

摘要

The composition and method of the present invention may be used for repairing potholes (10, 52), sealing or paving surfaces (10), curbs (93) and/or for interfacing, between paving (74) and structural members (72, 73). The preferable composition includes a mixture of a rubberized compound and an ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid co-polymer having a carboxylic acid content from about 0.5 to about 40 weight percent of the co-polymer. The rubberized compound may preferably be natural or synthetic rubber compounds, rubberized tar or the like. The ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid co-polymer preferably may be ethylene acrylic acid or the like. This composition may include a reinforcing agent, such as aggregate (16, 18, 56, 60), or a modifying agent, such as natural or synthetic fibers.
