The major types of asphalt used in construction are rolled asphalt and mastic asphalt. Rolled asphalt is the variety with which most people are probably familiar, as it makes up about 80% of asphalt used in the United States. Rolled asphalt is made of aggregate, or solid materials such as sand, gravel, or recycled concrete, with an asphalt binder. Rolled asphalt is used to make roads and other surfaces, such as parking lots, by being applied in layers and compacted. Different types of rolled asphalt are distinguished according to the process used to bind the aggregate with the asphalt. Mastic asphalt, also called sheet asphalt has a lower bitumen content than the rolled asphalt forms. It is used for some roads and footpaths, but also in roofing and flooring. Stone mastic asphalt (SMA), another variety, is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to rolled asphalt. Its benefits include an anti-skid property and the absence of air pockets, but if laid improperly, it may cause slippery road conditions.
