Spherical asphalt, also known as asphalt pellets, is a new type of asphalt product, which is presented in the shape of a round or nearly round clump with a smooth surface and a tight texture. So, how exactly is this spherical asphalt formed? What are its unique uses? Next, let's find out.
First, the spherical asphalt of **
The formation process of spherical asphalt is actually a physical change process. Conventional lumpy asphalt is heated and melted, and then processed into small round balls by mechanical agitation and compressed air. In this process, the chemical composition and properties of the asphalt do not change, only its shape and structure. The diameter of spherical bitumen is generally between 5-15 cm and can be adjusted as needed.
Second, the use of spherical asphalt.
1.Road construction.
Spherical asphalt has a wide range of applications in road construction. Due to its smooth surface and tight texture, it can effectively improve the anti-skid performance and wear resistance of the pavement, thereby prolonging the service life of the pavement. At the same time, the circular structure of spherical asphalt can reduce the friction between the vehicle tires and the road surface, reduce noise pollution, and improve driving comfort.
2.Waterproof material.
Spherical asphalt can also be used as a waterproofing material after special treatment. It has good sealing and durability, can effectively block the penetration of moisture and gas, and is widely used in waterproof projects on roofs, basements, toilets and other parts of buildings. 
3.Anticorrosive materials.
Since asphalt has good corrosion resistance, spherical asphalt can also be used as an anti-corrosion material. It can effectively protect metal or concrete components from corrosive substances and prolong their service life. In bridges, construction, equipment and other fields, spherical asphalt is widely used as an anti-corrosion coating or a material for anti-corrosion components.
4.Adhesive.
Spherical asphalt can also be used as a binder after special treatment. It has good adhesion and durability, and can effectively bond different materials together, which is widely used in construction, manufacturing, packaging, and other fields. At the same time, due to the good environmental performance of spherical asphalt, it is also widely used to replace traditional toxic binders.
In a word, as a new type of asphalt product, spherical asphalt has a wide range of application prospects. Its emergence not only enriches the types and uses of asphalt products, but also brings more choices and convenience to our production and life. It is believed that with the continuous development of science and technology, the application field of spherical asphalt will be more extensive.
