Is asphalt cement primarily made from bituminous coal tar or from petroleum byproduct?
True asphalt cement is made ONLY of petroleum byproduct, and may have varying levels of volatiles still present, but should never include any coal tar, as that is an entirely different binder. The two do have many similarities, though, particularly that they are both thermoplastic binders. But the main answer is that asphalt DOES NOT contain bituminous coal tar.
