What is Asphalt?

Asphalt pavement is a combination of around 95% stone, sand and gravel that is bound together by liquid asphalt. Liquid asphalt (also referred to as asphalt cement) is a petroleum compound binds the crushed stone mix together and gives asphalt its unmistakable black color.

The Asphalt Manufacturing Process

Asphalt is a durable material made from dried crushed rock and liquid asphalt. It is a natural and 100% recyclable material that is used in a variety of applications from paving roads to lining water reservoirs and fish hatcheries.

Due to asphalts highly viscous nature, asphalt manufacturing plants heat and mix the liquid asphalt and crushed rock to create the final asphalt product. Finally, the asphalt is loaded into trucks or stored in silos.
