Texas DOT saved $3.2M by using Crafco solutions across 72 lane miles, extending pavement life by 7+ years.
From the first course to the last mile, Crafco asphalt solutions preserve and protect.
Asphalt is a remarkable material, with a combination of durability, flexibility and versatility. With some preventative maintenance, asphalt pavement can provide many years of service. Crafco offers solutions that help maximize service life while reducing labor and traffic disruption.
Preserving new asphalt from the very start is critical. When laying new asphalt pavement, maximize bonding between courses with Crafco Joint Adhesive. It prevents premature raveling and cracking of longitudinal joints, which extends pavement life and preserves a smooth ride for traffic.
Pavement cracks are inevitable, but if left untreated, they widen and become potholes. Crack sealing stops the infiltration of moisture and incompressible debris that lead to further deterioration. Crafco offers a wide range of hot-pour crack sealants to meet your specific needs, from climate to use case.
When wide cracks, potholes or other large distresses form in asphalt, patching them quickly helps stop further damage and restore a smooth ride. Crafco Mastic One provides a fast, durable repair that won’t break up the surrounding pavement. It’s simple to install and ready for traffic as soon as it cools.
For extremely fast repairs that will last all season and beyond, try Crafco HP ER Asphalt Cold Patch. It stays pliable in storage for up to a year, requires no heating or mixing, and stays where you put it – even in wet weather.
Asphalt can become brittle as it oxidizes from exposure, accelerating deterioration. Crafco Sealcoat replenishes the vital oils and resins that keep asphalt pliable. Available in both conventional coal tar and emulsified asphalt formulations, Crafco Sealcoat provides reliable performance and a deep black appearance.

City of Chicago reduced complaint calls by 82% after implementing a targeted preventive maintenance program.
Asphalt joints often deteriorate because the first pass has an unconfined edge with poor compaction. A thin layer of Crafco’s joint adhesive before laying the second pass effectively bonds and seals the passes together to reduce raveling and crack formation from water, debris and thermal movement.
Water that seeps into unsealed cracks can erode the subbase over time, leading to pavement failure. Crack sealing allows water to run off the road harmlessly as designed. For larger cracks, use Crafco Mastic One to halt deterioration.
In winter, moisture in cracks can freeze and expand, widening cracks and causing potholes to develop rapidly. Crack sealing prevents ice from forming in cracks, stopping a root cause of potholes.
Cracks that contain incompressible debris can be further broken up as the pavement expands and contracts with the weather. Crack sealant blocks debris, stopping the deterioration.
