Asphalt Aggregate (Class 5)
Applications & Uses
Asphalt Aggregate in Class 5 Size Range
Asphalt aggregate in a Class 5 size range is a well-graded blend of crushed stone, sand, and gravel, engineered specifically for use as a stable base material in road and pavement construction. This aggregate is produced by mechanically crushing and screening natural rock to achieve a consistent gradation that meets Class 5 specifications, ensuring optimal compaction and load-bearing capacity.
The Class 5 size range is crucial because it provides a balanced mix of coarse and fine particles, allowing for excellent compaction and minimal voids. This results in a dense, stable base that resists shifting and settling, making it ideal for supporting asphalt pavement, driveways, parking lots, and pathways. Its well-graded nature also promotes effective drainage while maintaining structural integrity. While Class 5 aggregate is not typically decorative, its performance and reliability make it a top choice for both residential and commercial base applications.
