Introduction
What is Asphalt?
Asphalt, also known as bitumen, is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or
semi-solid form of petroleum.
What are fillers?
Filler plays a dual role in asphalt mixes; primarily, coarser particles of filler act
as the inert material which fills interstices between larger aggregates in mixes
and influence strength and impermeability of asphalt mix. On the other hand,
finer filler particles with a size smaller than asphalt film thickness, actively
interact with asphalt and modify viscosity and consistency of asphalt-filler mastic.
