Asphalt is primarily obtained through the refining of crude oil. During the petroleum refining process, crude oil is heated and distilled, separating it into various components based on their boiling points. The heavier fractions, which include asphalt, are further processed to remove impurities and enhance their properties. Additionally, asphalt can also be sourced from natural deposits, such as tar sands, where it occurs in a more concentrated form.
