Asphalt Millings (Recycled Asphalt Pavement): Product Overview

Asphalt Millings, also known as Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP), Asphalt Grindings, Crushed Asphalt, or Asphalt Reclaim, are produced from the milling and grinding of old asphalt surfaces. This material consists of crushed, angular pieces of asphalt mixed with aggregate and a bitumen binder. The color typically ranges from dark black to gray, closely resembling new asphalt. Asphalt millings are environmentally friendly, as they recycle existing pavement rather than requiring new materials.

Due to their composition, asphalt millings can be compacted to form a stable, semi-permeable surface. When installed and compacted correctly, the bitumen content helps the particles bind together, resulting in a firm and durable layer. This feature makes them suitable for a range of outdoor construction and repair projects. Asphalt millings are commonly used as a base or sub-base layer for driveways, parking lots, and road repairs. They are also applied in gravel road resurfacing, parking lot patching, backfill, and some erosion control situations.

Key Characteristics of Asphalt Millings

• Made from reclaimed and processed asphalt pavement
• Contains a blend of crushed asphalt, aggregate, and bitumen binder
• Angular particle shape, with sizes ranging from fine dust up to 1 inch
• Typical asphalt content ranges from 4% to 7% by weight
• Compacts to form a hard, stable surface over time
• Gradation is generally well-mixed, with both coarse and fine particles
• Low moisture content, but can vary with weather and storage conditions
• May require periodic maintenance or re-compaction

Typical Specifications

Specification	Details
Particle Size	3/8 inch to 1 inch (varies by milling process)
Asphalt Content	4% - 7% binder by weight
Gradation	Well-graded mix of fines and coarse particles
Compaction Density	95% - 98% of maximum dry density (AASHTO T99/ASTM D698)
Cleanliness	Minimal debris, free of soil and organic matter
Color	Dark black or gray
Environmental Impact	Recycled material, reduces waste

Practical Applications

Asphalt millings are used in multiple construction and renovation settings. They are often chosen for:

• Base or sub-base layers for driveways and parking lots
• Temporary or low-traffic road surfaces
• Resurfacing or stabilizing gravel roads
• Backfill material in construction projects
• Erosion control in select cases
• Cost-effective alternative to new asphalt or gravel

Asphalt millings can harden further with compaction and exposure to traffic, providing a long-lasting, stable surface. However, the material may require re-compaction or maintenance to retain its properties. It is important to note that asphalt millings are not suitable for every application. They should not be used where a completely sealed or impermeable surface is required.

Material Limitations and Considerations

Asphalt millings are a recycled product. This means there may be minor variations in particle size, color, and composition from batch to batch. Small amounts of concrete, aggregate, or other construction materials may be present. The compaction and binding characteristics depend on the source material and installation quality. Asphalt millings are not recommended as a finished surface in high-traffic commercial areas requiring strict surface uniformity or where local regulations prohibit their use. The material should be kept free from soil and organic matter to maintain stability.

Delivery and Ordering Information

Asphalt millings are delivered loose by dump truck. Material is unloaded at the most suitable location based on site access and driver discretion. Road access must be at least 12 feet wide and suitable for heavy trucks. If access is not possible, the material will be placed as close as possible to the desired location. We do not spread or install the material. If you are not present during delivery, you accept full responsibility for material left unattended. Orders can be placed online, with payment options including Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, and mobile payment services. All prices include delivery and sales tax. Delivery rates are calculated by ZIP code and are subject to change.

Important Notes

Asphalt millings are suitable for many outdoor construction and repair uses. They should not be used where a sealed, impermeable surface is needed. Minor variations in material are normal due to the recycled nature. Periodic maintenance or re-compaction may be required for best results.
