Explanation: aglomerado asfáltico = asphalt. The hot is not really necessary in English.
mastic asphalt (from Civil Engineering dictionary) = a wearing course to a road consisting of liquid asphalt spread hot by hand floats. Some clean sand or chips may be mixed with it. It is laid in two or three coats, the latter being 18 mm thick in all.

To clarify any doubt about what is \"aglomerado asfáltico en caliente\", here is a description of paving works, in Spanish, where the expression appears between <<< >>>:
En cuanto al trazado en alzado se ajusta a las características del estado actual, habiéndose definido la nueva rasante con el criterio de subir un mínimo de 6 cms. sobre la carretera existente.
La sección transversal consta de dos carriles de circulación de anchura constante de 3 metros en todo el tramo y dos arcenes de 1,00 metros cada uno.
La sección de firme estará compuesta por una capa de base de zahorra artificial de 30 cms. de espesor, una capa intermedia de <<<aglomerado asfáltico en caliente>>> con árido calizo de 6 cms. de espesor y una capa de <<<aglomerado asfáltico en caliente>>> con áridos ofíticos de 6 cms. de espesor.
The intermediate and the final layers are made of hot mix asphalt using different aggregates (\"árido calizo\" and \"áridos ofíticos\").
