Tarmac

Tarmac, short for tarmacadam, is a common material used to surface roads, airports, and pathways. It’s made by mixing crushed stone or gravel with asphalt—a black, sticky oil-based substance. When heated and combined, this mixture creates a durable, smooth, and weather-resistant surface suitable for vehicles and pedestrians. Tarmac is valued for its strength, quick installation, and cost-effectiveness, making it a standard choice for many types of paved surfaces. It can be repaired and maintained easily, ensuring long-lasting usability in various environments.
