Roadsaver 545
Crafco RoadSaver 545 sealant is a hot-applied asphalt-based product used to seal and fill cracks and joints in asphalt and Portland cement concrete pavements in moderate to hot climates. RoadSaver 545 is supplied in solid form which when melted and properly applied forms a resilient adhesive and flexible compound that resists cracking in the winter and resists flow at summer temperatures. RoadSaver 545 is used in highway, street, and airfield pavements and is applied to pavement cracks and joints using either pressure feed Melter applicators or pour pots. At application temperature, RoadSaver 545 is a free flowing, self-leveling product. RoadSaver 545 is produced to meet Arkansas specifications. RoadSaver 545 contains no reclaimed or ground vulcanized rubber material.

(13.6 kg) of product with 75 boxes per pallet, weighing approximately 2250 lbs. (1020 kg). Boxes contain a quick melting release film for easy removal and are taped closed, without any staples.; Meltable packaging consists of approximately 30 lbs. (13.6 kg) completely meltable packages that are interlock stacked on pallets. To use, the pallet wrap is removed, and individual blocks are placed in the Melter. There are no individual cardboard boxes to open, empty, handle, or dispose of. Meltable packaging quickly melts into the product without affecting specification conformance. Meltable packaged sealant products are sold by the pallet only and individual packages are not indented for sale.
