Chip Stone (5/16″, Chips, Mndot)
Applications & Uses
Chip Stone, 5/16" Size, Chips, MnDOT Spec
5/16" chip stone, produced to MnDOT specifications, is a finely crushed aggregate known for its uniform, angular chips. Manufactured by mechanically crushing larger stones, this material offers consistent sizing and shape, which is essential for precise construction applications.
The 5/16" size provides excellent compaction and interlock, making it ideal for use in asphalt mixes, chip sealing, and as a surface treatment for roads and pathways. Its angular nature ensures stability and reduces movement under load, while the MnDOT specification guarantees quality and performance for both residential and commercial projects. Common uses include driveways, walkways, and as a base or surface layer in paving projects. The small chip size allows for a smoother finish and improved traction, though it may be less suitable for areas requiring significant drainage compared to larger aggregates.
