Asphalt Aggregate (Class 7)
Applications & Uses
Asphalt Aggregate - Class 7
Asphalt Aggregate with a Class 7 designation is a high-quality construction material specifically engineered for use in asphalt paving and road base applications. Class 7 refers to a well-graded blend of crushed stone, sand, and fines, designed to meet strict specifications for compaction, stability, and load-bearing capacity. This aggregate is typically produced by crushing and screening durable rock sources to achieve a consistent mix that binds well with asphalt cement.
The Class 7 attribute ensures optimal particle size distribution, which is crucial for creating a dense, stable base that resists rutting and deformation under heavy traffic. This makes it ideal for use in roadways, parking lots, driveways, and other high-traffic surfaces. Its excellent compaction properties also make it suitable for sub-base layers in both residential and commercial projects. While the fines content aids in binding and smoothness, it may reduce drainage compared to more open-graded aggregates. Overall, Class 7 Asphalt Aggregate is valued for its strength, durability, and reliable performance in demanding paving applications.
