Although the
most popular colour for Tarmac is black, Tarmac can actually
be produced in almost any colour.
A red surface has been popular for domestic driveways for
many years due to the availability of a red
coloured 'quartzite' aggregate which helps the surface
retain it's colour even when the red pigment in the bitumen
binder begins to fade.
Other commonly used colours, especially for tarmac sports
surfaces, are green and blue (tennis courts, baseball
courts, etc)
In industrial areas coloured Tarmacadam is used to demarcate
designated areas for machinery, parking, storage or
pathways, although specialised industrial tarmac paint
is now often used for these purposes. |
