Etymology

The term 'asphalting' derives from 'asphalt', which has its roots in the ancient Greek word 'asphaltos'. The substance has been used since antiquity for its binding properties, primarily in construction. Historically, asphalt has been used in building roads and waterproofing ships. The modern technique of asphalting began in the 19th century with the development of the bituminous materials we use today. The widespread adoption of asphalt in road construction can be traced back to innovations in the early 1900s, particularly in the United States, where it became the standard for paving. Over the decades, asphalting has evolved with technology, leading to improved methods of application and sustainability practices in recycling old asphalt.
