Asphalt is a tough waterproof durable floorcovering widely used in large buildings. It is a rolled and polished mixture of bitumen and clay. It is available in black, brown and dull red.
It is also sometimes used for roofcovering.
Asphalt is pronounced 'ash felt' rather than 'ass fault.'
Asphalt is not tarmac, and is not used for roads or pavements.
Softening temperatures range from 57C to 107C for different grades of asphalt.
