No. asphalt is made up waste material left over after the manufacture of gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuels.

tiny rocks or (aggregate) is mixed in with the oil. Sometimes tire chips are used instead of aggregate.

How do you calculate vma in asphalt?

VMA, or Voids in Mineral Aggregate, is calculated using the formula: VMA = (Gmm - Gse) / Gmm × 100, where Gmm is the specific gravity of the compacted asphalt mixture, and Gse is the specific gravity of the effective aggregate. VMA represents the volume of voids in the mineral aggregate and is crucial for determining the air voids and durability of the asphalt mix. A higher VMA indicates more void space, which can affect the performance of the asphalt. This parameter is essential for ensuring proper asphalt design and construction.

Is asphalt concrete organic?

Asphalt concrete is not considered organic; it is primarily composed of aggregates (such as crushed stone, gravel, or sand) and asphalt binder, which is a byproduct of petroleum refining. While asphalt binder contains hydrocarbons, which are organic compounds, the overall composition of asphalt concrete is classified as inorganic due to its mineral aggregate content. Therefore, it is primarily a synthetic material used in road construction and paving.
