Cold Mix Asphalt

Cold Mix Asphalt is a type of asphalt used for paving or repairing roads and surfaces at lower temperatures than traditional hot mix asphalt. It is made by combining aggregate (such as crushed stone or gravel) with a binder like emulsified asphalt or cut-back asphalt, which remains workable without heating. This allows for easier application, especially for quick repairs or in colder weather when hot mix isn't practical. Cold Mix Asphalt provides a durable, cost-effective solution for patching potholes and small projects, although it may not be as long-lasting as hot mix asphalt for large, heavily trafficked roads.
