Understanding the different types of materials used in the paving process is helpful, whether you’re a property owner considering a new surface or a professional seeking a partner to handle paving needs. One term that may come up in your research is hot mix asphalt, which is a material that forms durable outdoor surfaces. Hot mix asphalt features a blend of graded mineral aggregate and asphalt binder. The mixture is created at a higher temperature and then compacted, which helps it to create a dense layer of pavement. Some mixtures also feature modifiers and additives, such as rubber, elastomers, polymers, fibers, and anti-strip agents.

Hot mix asphalt is often used to pave highways, parking lots, airfields, and port facilities, as well as to create recreational areas.
