What is Ready Mix Asphalt?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Asphalt concrete, or ready-mix asphalt, is a combination of aggregate, bitumen, and limestone heated in a batch plant until it becomes viscous enough to flow out. Ready-mix asphalt is intended to fill in potholes and cracks on paved surfaces such as roads.

You must know the technical nature of each type of material before you hire a contractor to patch your pothole-riddled road. A mixture of coarse and fine aggregates (usually silica sand or limestone) are heated to 300–400 °C, at which point they become fluid.

Liquid asphalt, which is liquid at all temperatures, is mixed with other additives, including plasticizers, superplasticizers, air trainers—chemical substances that reduce the surface tension of a liquid so that it can flow more easily—accelerators, anti-corrosion agents, and emulsifiers. A small amount of asphalt cement is mixed with water.

Paving asphalt is one of, if not the most affordable method for creating durable and visually pleasing driveways and walkways. A typical driveway paved with 2 hot mix asphalt will cost around $1.25 per square foot. Compare this to the price of paving concrete or stonework, which costs 10 times as much!

Asphalt is a great choice for paving driveways because it provides excellent durability and quality at an affordable price. With its strong adhesive properties and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures, asphalt can last anywhere from 20–30 years before needing replacement. Even then, removing old asphalt and replacing it with new asphalt is quick and easy—you can have a new driveway in no time!
