The composition and method of the present invention may be used for repairing potholes (10, 52), sealing or paving surfaces (10), curbs (93) and/or for interfacing, between paving (74) and structural members (72, 73). The preferable composition includes a mixture of a rubberized compound and an ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid co-polymer having a carboxylic acid content from about 0.5 to about 40 weight percent of the co-polymer. The rubberized compound may preferably be natural or synthetic rubber compounds, rubberized tar or the like. The ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid co-polymer preferably may be ethylene acrylic acid or the like. This composition may include a reinforcing agent, such as aggregate (16, 18, 56, 60), or a modifying agent, such as natural or synthetic fibers. |
