The bituminous materials are classified into tar and
asphalt.
Asphalt is produced from crude oil and has a higher
softening point than tar. It is mostly used in pavement
construction.
What is the difference
between tar and asphalt
Asphalt is also used as a binder material in sealing
cement?
purposes due to its waterproofing nature.
Tar is produced by destructive distillation of
bituminous coal. It is also produced by the cracking of
the petroleum vapors. Tar is also used in
waterproofing of the roofs.
The main use of asphalt is in pavement construction.
The asphalt is also used in sealing underground
foundations and roofs.
Discuss the main uses of
asphalt. Hot mix asphalt concrete is used for pavements and in
repair works.
Liquid asphalt is used as a seal in maintenance
applications.

asphalt cutbacks?
medium hard residue in less volatile solvent like
kerosene.
3. Slow-curing cutbacks: Produced by diluting soft
residue in non volatile fuel oil.
