Mostly in the form of liquid or semi-solid petroleum, black surface, soluble in carbon disulfide, carbon tetrachloride. Asphalt is a kind of organic cementitious material which is waterproof, moisture-proof and anticorrosive. Asphalt can be divided into coal tar pitch, petroleum asphalt and natural asphalt three kinds: among them, coal tar pitch is a by-product of coking. Petroleum pitch is the residue of crude oil after distillation. Natural bitumen is stored underground, forming seams or accumulating on the surface of the earth's crust.
