Anand on 3 August shared a video on how the new technology that can help ease the whole painful job of filling potholes.

The American Road Patch -- shared in the video -- makes potholes waterproof. The road patch is made up of high quality asphalt, polymer and geo-synthetic fiberglass.

The firm claims this is much better than standard road repairing procedure and provides a long lasting solution for potholes and cracks in roads.
The patented technology -- developed by American Road Patch 6 years ago is now distributed by Saint-Gobain Adfors in the USA and Canada -- can be used for pothole repair, concrete crack sealing and preservation, man -hole surround sealing, utility-cut sealing, low spot fill-in repairs, repair of uneven bridge joints, speed bumps, etc.
