Slab-to-slab micro-doweling action, provided by Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™, links concrete slabs together, locks them in place, and allows for full-traffic, dynamic-load transfer in ten minutes. This micro-doweling action is more compatible with concrete and less reactive in harsh environments than even Poly-coated rebar. Millions of micro-dowels penetrate, then bridge and bond, side by side, broken and jointed slabs. Hairline cracks, trench-wide cracks, irregular cracks, cured control joints, and variable-depth spalls are candidates for this amazing technology.
In ten minutes, at 70 degrees F (21C), this micro-doweled bond has the same compressive and shear strength as poured and fully cured concrete. Microdoweling™ makes bond-line failures a thing of the past. Parallel re-cracking, often experienced when epoxies cure out, are eliminated with Roadware’s Microdoweling™ technology.
“Polymer micro‑dowel formation is microscopic mechanical reinforcement created through deep penetration and polyurethane cross‑linking. It is not glue. It is not filler. It is not a surface patch. It is internal structural rebuilding.” See More
Roadware Microdoweling™ Technology
Structural Repair From the Inside Out
Microdoweling™ is Roadware’s proprietary slab‑to‑slab bonding technology that transforms cracked, broken, or jointed concrete into a unified, load‑bearing structure. Unlike surface patches or brittle epoxies, Microdoweling™ works within the concrete matrix—creating millions of microscopic polymer “dowels” that penetrate, bridge, and lock slabs together.
How Microdoweling™ Works
- Deep Penetration — Roadware 10 Minute Concrete Mender™ flows at 8 cps, chasing cracks and saturating fractured aggregate.
- Micro‑Dowel Formation — As the resin cures, countless polymer micro‑dowels form inside the slab, restoring aggregate interlock.
- Structural Continuity — The repair becomes a composite concrete‑polymer system with no brittle bond line.
- Rapid Strength Gain — At 70°F (21°C), the micro‑doweled repair reaches full compressive and shear strength equivalent to cured concrete in ten minutes.
Why Microdoweling™ Outperforms Traditional Repairs
- No Bond‑Line Failures — Eliminates the weak plane that causes epoxy repairs to pop out or re‑crack.
- Dynamic Load Transfer — Supports forklift, AGV, and heavy industrial traffic almost immediately.
- Harsh Environment Compatibility — More stable and less reactive than poly‑coated rebar or rigid epoxies.
- Versatile Applications — Ideal for hairline cracks, wide cracks, irregular breaks, control joints, and variable‑depth spalls.
The Result
Microdoweling™ restores concrete to its original performance characteristics—allowing facilities to return to service fast, reduce long‑term maintenance, and eliminate recurring crack failures.
