About Us What We Do Where We Are Join Us What’s New Poten Portal Contact Us ASPHALT Asphalt liquid is refined from crude oil. It is a key building block used in the paving of roads, the manufacturing of roof materials and other special uses including coatings and waterproofing applications. Unlike most products refined from crude oil, asphalt liquid is used as a material rather than a fuel. Its specifications and relevant properties are unique and different from fuel products like gasoline, jet fuel, diesel fuel and residual fuel oil. Asphalt liquid plays a major role in the transportation infrastructure of countries around the globe. Asphalt must perform on various road surfaces that are subject to heavy loads, extreme heat and cold, wet and dry conditions, as well as freeze/thaw cycles. It must remain durable for years ensuring reliable and safe roadways.
