Asphalt Aggregate (3/8″, Asphalt)
Applications & Uses
3/8" Asphalt Aggregate for Asphalt Applications
3/8" asphalt aggregate is a crushed stone material specifically sized for use in asphalt mixes. Produced by crushing and screening high-quality stone, this aggregate features a consistent 3/8-inch size that ensures optimal blending and compaction within asphalt pavements.
The 3/8" size is ideal for creating smooth, durable surfaces in both residential and commercial paving projects. Its smaller particle size allows for tighter compaction, resulting in a denser, longer-lasting asphalt layer with fewer voids. This makes it a preferred choice for driveways, parking lots, roadways, and pathways where a smooth finish and structural integrity are essential. The aggregate's compatibility with asphalt binders also enhances the pavement's resistance to cracking and rutting. While its fine size offers excellent workability and finish, it may not be suitable for drainage layers or areas requiring high permeability.
