Abstract:
Enhanced crack filler materials, systems, and methods for filling and repairing cracks in asphalt surfaces, such as asphalt roadways. The enhanced crack filler material includes crack filler and a silane additive. The silane additive includes organosilane, benzyl alcohol, and ethylene glycol. The crack filler, when combined with the silane additive, provides an enhanced crack filling material having a lower viscosity and a greater ability to penetrate cracks when compared to conventional crack filler materials.

Claim (Index 18):
An enhanced crack filling system, comprising:\n a crack filler receptacle; a temperature sensor that measures a temperature of contents inside the crack filler receptacle; at least one heating element that, in response to a temperature measured by the temperature sensor, heats the crack filler receptacle and the contents inside the crack filler receptacle; an enhanced crack filler substance disposed inside the crack filler receptacle, the enhanced crack filler substance, comprising:\n a predetermined amount of heated crack filler comprising at least one of asphalt cement, aggregate, polymers, petroleum extracts, polyester fiber, and solvents; and \n a predetermined amount of silane additive mixed with the crack filler under heat for a period of time, wherein the silane additive includes organosilane and a predetermined amount of a solvent comprising benzyl alcohol and ethylene glycol, and wherein the predetermined amount of the solvent in the silane additive forms the enhanced crack filler substance into a liquid; and \n a dispensing applicator operatively interconnected with the crack filler receptacle and configured to convey the enhanced crack filler substance from the crack filler receptacle into a crack in asphalt.
