The definition includes crude asphalt as well as the following finished products: cements, fluxes, the asphalt content of emulsions (exclusive of water), and petroleum distillates blended with asphalt to make cutback asphalt. (source: EPA) Background from Wikipedia The term asphalt is often used as an abbreviation for asphalt concrete. Base layer of asphalt concrete in a road under construction. Asphalt is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid that is present in most crude petroleums and in some natural deposits. Asphalt is composed almost entirely of bitumen. There is some disagreement amongst chemists regarding the structure of asphalt, but it is most commonly modeled as a colloid, with asphaltenes as the dispersed phase and maltenes as the continuous phase. There are two forms commonly used in construction: rolled asphalt and mastic asphalt. Rolled asphalt (usually hot rolled or HRA) is one of the forms of road surfacing material known collectively as blacktop; another form is the (distinct) macadam, including both tar and bituminous macadams. The terms asphalt and tarmac tend to be used interchangeably in common usage, although they are distinct products.
