chemical compound made of dark, solid rocks and minerals often used in paving roads.

A dark bituminous substance found in natural beds. Residue from petroleum distillation.

- One of various materials that may be used to construct the tee-off pad.

natural: mixture of degassed oil (bitumen) and solid particles of rocks; artificial: mixture of bitumen produced by refining oil/petroleum and stone mixtures for cementing roads surfaces (asphalting).

A black petroleum residue, which can be anywhere from solid to semisolid at room temperature. When heated to the temperature of boiling water, it becomes able to be poured. It is used in roofing mater [..]

A dark brown to black, highly viscous, hydrocarbon produced from the residue left after the distillation of petroleum. Asphalt is used on roofs and highways as a waterproofing agent.

A mixture of mineral aggregates and bitumen used in the construction of road and car park surfaces.

A dark brown to black cementitious material in which the predominating constituents are bitumen, which occur in nature or are obtained in petroleum processing. Asphalt is a constituent in varying proportions of most crude petroleum and is used for paving, roofing, industrial uses, and other special purposes.

a highly viscous liquid that naturally occurs in crude petroleum.

A bituminous compound, dark brown or black in color, used in the manufacture of asphalt roofing shingles.

A brown to black residue formed from weathered petroleum products, consisting chiefly of a mixture of hydrocarbons, varies in texture from hard and brittle to plastic.

A dark, solid or semi-solid mixture obtained from natural deposits, such as tar pits, or as a byproduct from petroleum processing. Asphalt is further refined from tar. It can be used as waterproof bin [..]

the mixture of bitumen and aggregate used for road surfacing.

A solid hydrocarbon which may be deposited within the reservoir rock, in well equipment, or in surface lines and tanks.

A solid petroleum residue, similar to bitumen, tar and pitch.

A dark brown to black cementatious material - solid, semisolid, or liquid in consistency in which the predominating constituents are bitumens. Petroleum asphalt, as distinguished from asphalt occu [..]

A solid hydrocarbon found as a natural deposit. Crude oil of high asphaltic content, when subjected to distillation to remove the lighter fractions such as naphtha and kerosene, leaves asphalt as a residue.

A dark-brown-to-black cement-like material obtained by petroleum processing and containing bitumen as the predominant constituent.

A sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid, composed almost entirely of bitumen, that is present in most crude petroleums and in some natural deposits. asphalt concrete, a hard ground [..]
