The main use is as basic construction materials, raw materials and fuels, and the scope of application is in various sectors such as transportation (roads, railways, aviation, etc.), construction, agriculture, water conservancy engineering, industry (extractive industry, manufacturing), and civil use.

Asphalt may need to be stored thermally in storage tanks during production and use. If properly handled, asphalt can be reheated and maintained at higher temperatures for a considerable period of time without serious damage to its properties. However, if exposed to oxygen, light and overheating, it will cause the hardening of the asphalt. The most notable sign is that the softening point of the asphalt increases, the penetration decreases, and the ductility becomes poor, which will lead to the loss of the service performance of the asphalt.
