The mixtures included in this EPD represent all different asphalt mixtures that’sdistributed by Asfaltsgruppen Öst AB.

ABb is usually used as an intermediate layerbetween the base layer of asphalt and the top layer. On roads with a highproportion of heavy traffic, it provides high stability and durability.
ABD is used as a second layer on roads where noise andhydroplaning is a problem. Both the noice reduction effect and the drainingcapacity decreases quite quickly over time, which is why such surfaces need tobe re-laid more often to maintain the function.
ABS is used as the top layer on medium and hightraffic roads. It provides durable roads that are not deformed and canwithstand hard loads. Rainwater can be drained away into the coarse structurethat the mixture forms.
ABT could be used for everything from garagedriveways to low- and medium traffic roads and streets. The mixture does nothave as high resistance to deformation as other asphalt mixtures and istherefor not used on roads with heavy traffic.
ABÖ is a top layer with open structure that can beused for sludged pavings or as base layer for running tracks.
AG is often used as the base layer on roads. Itcould be used on all types of roads and surfaces. It can also be advantageouslylaid out in thick layers.
AGF is often used as the base layer on roads andcan also be used as a top layer. It could be used on all types of roads andsurfaces. It can also be advantageously laid out in thick layers. The AGFmixture has a higher binder content then the AG mixture to cope better withwear and have a longer service life.
