Bitumen vs. Asphalt: What’s the Difference?

Understanding the difference between bitumen and asphalt is essential for making informed decisions in road construction and maintenance. Bitumen is a binding agent, typically used in road construction, and acts as the glue that holds the aggregate together. Asphalt, on the other hand, is a mixture that includes bitumen, aggregate, and other materials, providing a durable and smooth surface for roads. While bitumen alone is crucial for its adhesive properties, asphalt is the complete product used to pave roads, offering resilience and flexibility, which makes it ideal for various traffic conditions. Knowing when to use each material ensures that roads are both long-lasting and cost-effective.
