Heidelberg Materials Malaysia operates 16 asphalt plants in Peninsular Malaysia. These specialized facilities produce high-quality asphalt for road surfacing, using advanced processes to ensure durability, performance, and compliance with industry standards for diverse infrastructure projects.

The Flexible Construction Material - Asphalt

What is Asphalt?

Asphalt, also known as bitumen, is a black, sticky, and highly viscous material derived from petroleum. It is widely used in road construction as a binding agent that holds together aggregates such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone. The result is a smooth, durable surface ideal for roads, highways, airports, and parking lots.

There are two main types of asphalt:

Hot mix asphalt – commonly used for road paving due to its strength and durability.
Cold mix asphalt – typically used for temporary road repairs and patching.

Asphalt is highly valued for its water resistance, flexibility, and long-term durability, making it a key component in modern infrastructure projects.

Asphalt mixtures are produced by heating and blending aggregates, including fines, with bitumen at high temperatures. The hot mix is then discharged into tipper trucks and transported to construction sites for paving. The final product offers a smooth and resilient driving surface that can withstand heavy traffic and varying weather conditions.

To meet diverse project requirements, asphalt mixtures can be customized to create different grades and types—ranging from high-performance mixes for airport runways to standard formulations for city roads and highways.

Asphalt products include:

Asphaltic wearing course
Asphaltic binder course
Dense bituminious macadam
Stone mastic asphalt

Asphalt FAQs

How can businesses purchase asphalt for their projects?: Asphalt is sold directly from asphalt plants, with options starting from as little as 1 tonne for collection. Alternatively, asphalt suppliers like Heidelberg Materials Malaysia offer convenient delivery services from their strategically located plants, ensuring timely and efficient supply for projects of all sizes.
What is an asphalt plant?: An asphalt plant is a facility used to produce asphalt, a key material in road construction and paving. It combines aggregates (such as sand, gravel, or crushed stone) with asphalt binder (bitumen) and other additives in precise proportions. The plant heats and dries the aggregates before mixing them with the binder to create a homogenous mixture, which is then transported for paving or stored for future use.
Asphalt plants are essential for producing hot mix asphalt (HMA) that can withstand heavy traffic and harsh weather conditions. To learn more about how asphalt plants work, check out our detailed guide on how asphalt plants work.
Can asphalt be laid over existing concrete surfaces?: Yes, asphalt can be laid over concrete if the concrete is strong and in good condition. Specialized crack-resistant asphalt solutions, such as Tufflayer and Tufflex, provide a flexible and durable overlay option, making it ideal for reinforcing and resurfacing concrete structures.
What is the difference between asphalt and bitumen?: Bitumen is the binding agent that holds asphalt together, while asphalt is a mixture of bitumen, aggregate, and sand. Produced in specialized plants, asphalt is a versatile material used for various surfacing applications, offering durability and flexibility compared to bitumen alone.
What’s the main difference between batch mix and drum mix asphalt plants?: The key difference lies in how the materials are mixed. In a drum mix asphalt plant, the drying and mixing of aggregate and asphalt happen continuously in the same drum, making it ideal for high-volume production. In contrast, a batch mix plant produces asphalt in individual batches, offering more control over mix quality and customization.
