Sand (Asphalt)
Applications & Uses
Sand with Asphalt Attribute
Sand with an asphalt attribute is a high-quality construction aggregate specifically selected and processed for use in asphalt mixtures. This sand is typically clean, well-graded, and free from impurities, ensuring optimal performance when blended with asphalt binders. The absence of a specified size range means it is generally fine to medium-grained, which is ideal for creating a smooth, stable surface in paving applications.
The asphalt attribute indicates that this sand is engineered to enhance the workability, compaction, and durability of asphalt mixes. Its consistent texture helps achieve a uniform finish and strong bond within the pavement structure. Common uses include residential driveways, commercial parking lots, roadways, and pathways. The main advantage of this sand is its compatibility with asphalt, resulting in reduced cracking and improved longevity of paved surfaces. However, it is not suitable for drainage or decorative applications, as its primary function is structural support within asphalt layers.
