Asphalt or bitumen is a black, sticky and highly viscous semi-solid or liquid form of petroleum. These components are found in natural deposits or may be produced as a refined product. Asphalts are also provided as a petroleum byproduct. Both asphalts and its byproduct substances are mostly soluble in carbon disulfide. They are of variable consistency, ranging from highly viscous fluid to a solid. Asphalts occur with or without mineral matter. The most important application of asphalt includes road construction, in which it is mostly used as binder mixed with aggregate particles so as to create asphalt concrete.
