Asphalt Aggregate (#8 To 1/4″, Asphalt)

Asphalt Aggregate (#8 to 1/4” Size Range, Asphalt Attribute)

Asphalt aggregate in the #8 to 1/4" size range is a finely graded material specifically engineered for use in asphalt mixes. Produced by crushing and screening high-quality stone, this aggregate is carefully sized to ensure optimal blending and compaction within asphalt pavements. The #8 to 1/4" size offers a balance between workability and structural integrity, making it ideal for creating smooth, durable surfaces.




This aggregate size is crucial for achieving a dense, stable asphalt mix that resists rutting and cracking. Its fine gradation allows for tight compaction, resulting in a smoother finish and improved load distribution. Common applications include residential driveways, commercial parking lots, roadways, and pathways. The smaller particle size enhances surface texture and skid resistance, while the asphalt attribute ensures compatibility and strong bonding within the pavement structure. While this fine aggregate is excellent for surface courses, it may not be suitable for base layers where larger, more open-graded materials are preferred for drainage.
