Product overview
What BAM is built to do
BAM - Bonding Adhesive Material - is PCT's ready-to-use liquid binder for spray-injection pothole and shoulder repair. It can also be mixed with rock to create a stockpile patch mix for lower-cost pothole work and throw-and-roll placement.
Manufacturer-stated benefits
Why crews specify it
Claims below are summarized from the current PCT product sheet. Project results depend on conditions, preparation, equipment, and application.
02
Two Patch Workflows
Use with spray-injection patchers or mix with rock for stockpile and throw-and-roll repairs.
03
Non-Clogging / Non-Settling
PCT describes BAM as non-clogging and non-settling for easier field application.
04
Immediate Traffic
The manufacturer states that BAM repairs can accept immediate traffic, minimizing disruption.
Field planning
From product fit to deployment
The product sheet gives the core use case. A successful field plan still needs project-specific rates, equipment checks, safety documents, and acceptance criteria.
Choose the repair method
Use BAM through a compatible spray-injection pothole patcher or build a stockpile mix with suitable rock.
Set the mix and equipment
Confirm aggregate, binder amount, equipment settings, and job procedure with Crownwood; those values are not included on PCT's one-page sheet.
Place the repair
Install the spray-injection, shoulder, stockpile, or throw-and-roll repair using the selected field method.
Return to service
PCT states that BAM allows immediate traffic, subject to the completed repair meeting project and agency requirements.
What the one-page sheet does not specify
PCT says BAM is made from hydrocarbon resins meeting ANSI/NSF 61 standards. Confirm current certification, SDS, aggregate requirements, binder rate, packaging, and equipment compatibility before specifying or purchasing.
Product questions
Straight answers from the available data
01What does BAM stand for?+
BAM stands for Bonding Adhesive Material.
02Is BAM only for spray-injection patchers?+
No. PCT also says BAM can be mixed with rock to create a stockpile patch mix for throw-and-roll use and identifies rural shoulder repair as an application.
03Does BAM require heating?+
No. The manufacturer describes it as ready to use with no heating required.
04What durability does PCT claim?+
PCT states that applications with BAM last up to ten times longer than conventional pothole repairs. Actual results depend on materials, preparation, placement, traffic, and site conditions.
