Aggregate Impact Value – 13.0
Sulphate Soundness – < 12 %
Flakiness Index – 13
Elongation – < 2:1
Bulk density – 2.8 t /m³
12mm Aggregate
12mm aggregate is used as part of asphalt design for paving.
19mm Aggregate
9.5mm and 19mm aggregate are best mixed in a 1:1 ratio which is used to load blocks or mixed with bitumen for road paving.
