#asphalt mix

• To coat with bitumen — To coat, cover, or mix mineral aggregates (crushed stone, gravel, sand) with a hydrocarbon binder (fluid bitumen or bituminous emulsion) to obtain asphalt mixtures for road surfaces. In civil engineering, this structural process ensures the cohesion, impermeability, and mechanical resistance of bituminous layers applied to highways or public roads.
• Bitumen-coated — Having undergone the process of anrobare; a mineral aggregate, stone chipping, or rocky material that has been uniformly wrapped and covered with a thin film of bitumen, emulsion, or hydrocarbon binder. In a technical sense, it describes the state of the components of an asphalt mixture ready to be laid and compacted on the roadway to form impermeable and resistant road layers.
