MONO-PATCH Cold Set All-Purpose Repair Offers Durable Solution for Road and Pavement Repairs

New MONO-PATCH® Cold Set All-Surface Repair from USG Corporation offers a quick, one-step solution for repairing highways, bridge decks, parking lots, industrial floors and other horizontal asphalt, concrete or masonry surfaces during cold-weather temperatures.

The product, which can be used both indoors and outdoors, eliminates the need to use asphalt as a temporary fix and minimizes callbacks and follow-up repairs. This results in significant savings in time and manpower for transportation, engineering and facility maintenance personnel.

MONO-PATCH Cold Set All-Surface Repair features a revolutionary chemical setting process that was developed in conjunction with Argonne National Laboratory. As the product hardens, it delivers a typical high early strength of 3,000 psi after only three hours.

Designed for use when temperatures are below 45 degrees F, MONO-PATCH Cold Set All-Surface Repair sets in just 30 to 40 minutes compared to cement, which requires six to 22 hours to set. The repair bonds strongly to adjoining surfaces and is ready to accept traffic within three hours.

"The MONO-PATCH system is the first product to offer a durable, simple-to-use solution for cold-weather road and surface repairs," said Gail Jackson, product manager for USG's Industrial Division. "Contractors and road crews are able to complete road and pavement repairs in cold weather without worrying about callbacks, which translates into huge savings for users and fewer inconveniences to motorists."

MONO-PATCH Cold Set All-Surface Repair uses no bonding agents. It is shipped dry in bags and simply mixed with water at the repair site using a portable mixer or an electric drill with a paddle.

MONO-PATCH Cold Set All-Surface Repair is marketed and distributed exclusively by USG Industrial Products. For more information or to purchase the product, contact USG Industrial Products at P.O. Box 806278, Chicago, IL 60680-4124, call 1-800-487-4431.
