TL;DR
Hot-pour crack filler is the melted rubberized-asphalt material a sealcoating crew applies from a heated kettle or pour pot into prepared pavement cracks, distinguished from sealant mainly by marketing; both terms describe direct-fired rubber-asphalt blends meeting specs like ASTM D6690. Applied at roughly 380 degrees F, it penetrates the crack, bonds to clean walls, and can take traffic within the hour.
What it means
Hot-pour crack filler is the melted rubberized-asphalt material a sealcoating crew applies from a heated kettle or pour pot into prepared pavement cracks, distinguished from sealant mainly by marketing; both terms describe direct-fired rubber-asphalt blends meeting specs like ASTM D6690. Applied at roughly 380 degrees F, it penetrates the crack, bonds to clean walls, and can take traffic within the hour. Driveway estimates often price it by the linear foot ahead of the sealcoat itself, since unfilled cracks let water reach the base and shorten the pavement's life.
