Asphalt Aggregate (1/2″, Asphalt, Class 8)
Product Specifications
Applications & Uses
Asphalt Aggregate, 1/2" Size, Class 8 Color
Asphalt aggregate in a 1/2" size range is a high-quality crushed stone specifically engineered for use in asphalt mixes. This material is produced by crushing and screening durable rock to achieve a consistent 1/2" particle size, ensuring optimal compaction and stability within asphalt applications. The Class 8 color designation indicates a uniform, dark appearance that blends seamlessly with standard asphalt surfaces.
The 1/2" size is ideal for creating a dense, load-bearing base in both residential and commercial paving projects, such as driveways, parking lots, and roadways. Its angular shape promotes strong interlock and excellent load distribution, while the asphalt attribute ensures compatibility with bituminous binders for long-lasting, smooth surfaces. This aggregate size offers a balance between workability and structural integrity, making it easy to spread and compact while providing reliable performance. Its main advantage is superior drainage and reduced risk of rutting, though it may not be suitable for decorative or exposed aggregate finishes.
