Microsurface Asphalt Aggregate (3/16" to 3/8")

Microsurface asphalt aggregate in the 3/16" to 3/8" size range is a specialized construction material designed for use in microsurfacing applications. This aggregate is typically produced by crushing and screening high-quality stone to achieve a consistent, angular profile, which is essential for optimal bonding with asphalt emulsions.

The 3/16" to 3/8" size range offers a balanced texture-fine enough to create a smooth, skid-resistant surface, yet coarse enough to provide structural durability. This makes it ideal for resurfacing roads, parking lots, and airport runways, where a thin, protective layer is needed to extend pavement life and improve ride quality. The angular shape enhances interlock and stability, while the asphalt attribute ensures excellent adhesion and weather resistance. While this material is not typically used for heavy structural layers, its quick application and minimal downtime make it a cost-effective choice for both municipal and commercial pavement maintenance.
