Crushed Stone (1/4″ To 1/2″, Oil Rock)
Applications & Uses
Crushed Stone Oil Rock (1/4" to 1/2")
Crushed stone oil rock in a 1/4" to 1/2" size range is a durable aggregate produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks, resulting in angular fragments. The "oil rock" attribute indicates that this material is specifically engineered for use in oil and chip (chip seal) paving applications, where its texture and size promote optimal adhesion to liquid asphalt.
The 1/4" to 1/2" size range offers a balance between coverage and compaction, making it ideal for creating a stable, skid-resistant surface. This aggregate is commonly used in road resurfacing, parking lots, and rural driveways, as well as for base layers in commercial and residential paving projects. Its angular shape ensures excellent interlock and load distribution, while the oil rock treatment minimizes dust and enhances binding with asphalt. While it may be less decorative than rounded stone, its performance and durability make it a preferred choice for high-traffic and heavy-duty surfaces.
