| | Bitumen | Explanation:
Mit "neat asphalt" ist hier meiner Ansicht nach das Bindemittel Bitumen gemeint.
... "derived from distillation of crude oil" (= Bitumen)
Zitate
In U.S. terminology, asphalt (or asphalt cement) is the carefully refined residue from the distillation process of selected crude oils. Outside North America, the product is called bitumen.
The primary use of asphalt (Bitumen) is in road construction, where it is used as the *glue or binder* for the aggregate particles. The ***road surfacing material** is usually called 'asphalt concrete' in North America or simply 'asphalt' elsewhere. ***The apparent interchangeability of the words 'asphalt' and 'bitumen' causes a lot of confusion*** outside of the road construction industry despite quite clear definitions within industry circles.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asphalt
Asphalt (von griechisch ασφαλτος ásphaltos „Bestand haben“) bezeichnet sowohl eine natürliche als auch eine technisch hergestellte Mischung aus dem Bindemittel Bitumen und Gesteinskörnungen, die im Straßenbau für Fahrbahnbefestigungen, im Hochbau für Fußbodenbeläge, im Wasserbau und seltener im Deponiebau zur Abdichtung verwendet wird.
