Colored Asphalt Pigment
Colored asphalt is no longer just about appearance. It is widely used in modern infrastructure to improve road safety, urban design, and environmental performance. By combining high-performance pigments with asphalt mixtures, contractors can create pavements that are both visually distinct and structurally reliable.
XT Pigment provides stable, high-temperature resistant asphalt pigments suitable for different road systems, climates, and construction methods.
Why Industrial Buyers Choose XT Pigment
Instead of generic supply, industrial buyers need consistency, scalability, and technical support.
What matters in real projects
- Stable color batch-to-batch (no variation across projects)
- High temperature resistance for asphalt mixing
- Strong dispersion in bitumen systems
- Reliable supply for large infrastructure orders
What we provide
- Bulk supply for road construction projects
- Consistent pigment quality for long-term contracts
- Technical guidance for asphalt mixing ratios
- Multi-product sourcing (Iron Oxide + Carbon Black + TiO₂)
- Fast response for project timelines
Product Types (Based on Application Scenarios)
Iron Oxide Pigments (Mainstream Choice)
- Red / Yellow / Blue / Green
- Municipal roads
- Bike lanes
- Decorative pavements
Iron oxide pigments are the most widely used solution due to their UV stability, weather resistance, and long-term color retention.
Compound Asphalt Pigments
- Multi-color customization
- Improved dispersion
- Ready-to-use blends
- Large-scale infrastructure projects
- Projects requiring consistent tone control
Colored asphalt is produced by mixing decolorized asphalt with pigments, aggregates, and additives at controlled temperatures.
Typical Applications
Colored asphalt is widely used because it combines visual impact with functional performance.

How to Use Asphalt Pigments
Using asphalt pigments is simple if the process is controlled correctly. Follow these key steps to ensure stable color and good pavement performance.
Select the Right Pigment
- Choose inorganic pigments with high heat resistance and UV stability.
- Common options: red, yellow, brown, green, black.
Control Dosage
- Typical dosage: 3%–5% of the asphalt mixture.
- Adjust based on color intensity and project requirements.
- Always test before bulk production.
Add During Mixing
- Add pigment into the asphalt mixing process.
- Steps: Heat binder, add aggregates, add pigment evenly, mix until uniform.
- Good dispersion = no color spots or streaks.
Keep Temperature Stable
- Avoid overheating during mixing.
- Ensures better color consistency and no pigment damage.
- Ensures smooth paving performance.
Do a Trial Batch
- Before full paving, test a small batch to confirm final color.
- Check for uniformity and compatibility.
Paving & Compaction
- Use clean equipment to avoid black contamination.
- Pave while material is hot.
- Compact evenly for smooth surface.
Simple Maintenance
- Clean regularly.
- Repair cracks early.
- Avoid chemical pollution.
Buyer Tip
- Stable pigment quality is more important than low price.
- Poor pigment can cause fading and higher long-term cost.
