👉Tar and bitumen are not the same thing.
💫People mix them up a lot, so here’s the simple, human explanation 👇
🚧Tar:- Comes from coal or wood
Man-made (produced by heating coal)
Has a strong, bad smell
Not commonly used today for roads
More toxic and dangerous
Old roads were once “tarred” that’s where the confusion came from
🚧Bitumen:-Comes from crude oil (petroleum) Natural or refinery product Used everywhere in modern road construction Safer than tar.
⭐️That black sticky material you see on roads? That’s bitumen
🎲In simple words: Old roads used tar.
🎲Modern roads use bitumen.
⚡️So when people say “tar road” today, what they really mean is bitumen road.
🔰Knowing the difference is small but it shows who actually understands construction😉
