asphaltic

The most important thing to remember about flexible, pavement lifespan is that asphaltic pavements are not designed to last forever.

It still has unique properties that are industrially or commercially useful, such as certain asphaltic roofing compounds and friction products like brake pads.

Recycled glass can be mixed with virgin stone chip to make asphaltic concrete.

Roads (in well-regulated jurisdictions) use strong asphalt mixes with a lot of large granular aggregate and a lot less asphaltic content (and asphalt that's stable at higher temperatures).

For road paving, often referred to as black-top, the binder is Asphalt, and that is called "Asphaltic Concrete," or A.

That pavement is most likely asphaltic concrete (commonly, though incorrectly, known as "asphalt"), which is a mixture of asphalt and sand/gravel aggregate.

At the bottom of the column, the heaviest and largest of the hydrocarbons (40-plus carbon atoms) are taken and used in asphaltic-based products." Translation: You don't make lubricants and a bunch of other critically-needed oil byproducts without making gasoline and the lighter hydrocarbons first.
