What is Asphalt?

Asphalt is a composite material that is commonly used for parking lots, driveways, and roads. Asphalt is used as a binder, and is mixed with mineral aggregate, then is carefully laid down in layers, compacted, then cured, so it can last for many, many years.

 

Asphalt is the choice for highways and paved roads in America as nearly ninety five percent of the highways and paved roads are asphalt concrete. Five hundred and fifty million tons of asphalt materials are being used each year. The materials that are used are recyclable, and is the most recycled material in the United States.
