What is Asphalt?

Asphalt or bitumen, is a form of petroleum that is black, sticky and highly viscous. Used as a binding agent or “glue” and mixed with aggregate (stone, sand, and gravel), it makes asphalt-concrete, the material mainly used in asphalt paving for road construction. Asphalt-concrete (or commonly just called Asphalt) is made up of 5-10% asphalt-bitumen and 90-95% aggregate (stone, sand, and gravel). Known for its strength and durability, asphalt is one of the best options for most paved surfaces.
