Hot Rolled Asphalt (HRA) is predominantly used as a Surface course but some types of HRA can be used as a Binder layer for industrial or residential applications. The product is a blend of a single size of coarse aggregate, a high proportion of fine aggregate, plus filler and binder. When combined the end product is a dense, gap graded mixture that derives strength from the fine aggregate, filler and binder.
Surface macrotexture and skid resistance on the high speed road network is achieved by rolling Coated Chippings into the surface during installation.
