What is a Petroleum Asphalt?

A Petroleum Asphalt (ASPHALT,PETROLEUM) is a brown to black bituminous residue, obtained artificially from certain petroleums, which is insoluble in water but soluble in lighter petroleum fractions. It includes items which are produced through further processing by fluxing or emulsifying, or by the addition of flux and filler, to form end products, such as cutbacks and emulsions used in road work, waterproofing, and dampproofing. It also includes roof coatings with or without pigments and/or fillers.

What is a Gypsum Patching Plaster?

A Gypsum Patching Plaster (PLASTER,PATCHING,GYPSUM) is a product whose principal ingredient is calcined, ground gypsum used for filling cracks, breaks, indentations, and the like in walls, ceilings, and other structural members. See also PLASTER, GYPSUM.

NATO Supply Class 5610 refers to Mineral Construction Materials, Bulk. This class is part of NATO Supply Group 56, which is dedicated to Construction and Building Materials.

Mineral Construction Materials, Bulk, includes various types of materials that are commonly used in construction projects. These materials are typically obtained in large quantities and are used for various purposes in the construction industry.

Some examples of mineral construction materials that fall under this class include:

1. Aggregates: These are granular materials such as sand, gravel, crushed stone, and slag. Aggregates are commonly used in the production of concrete and asphalt for building foundations, roads, and other construction projects.

2. Fillers: Fillers are fine materials used to fill voids or gaps in construction materials. They improve the properties of the materials and enhance their performance. Examples of fillers include limestone powder, fly ash, and silica fume.

3. Cementitious Materials: These materials include cement, lime, and other binders that are used to create a cohesive mixture with aggregates. Cementitious materials are essential for the production of concrete and mortar, which are widely used in construction.

4. Industrial Minerals: This category includes minerals such as gypsum, limestone, clay, and shale. These minerals are used in the production of various construction materials, including cement, plaster, bricks, and tiles.

5. Other Mineral Construction Materials: This class also includes other mineral-based materials used in construction, such as natural and artificial stone, marble, granite, and slate.

NATO Supply Class 5610 is specifically focused on bulk quantities of these mineral construction materials. Bulk materials are typically purchased and transported in large quantities, often in loose or unpackaged form.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Classes and Groups are used for standardization and classification purposes within NATO member countries. These classifications help facilitate procurement and logistics operations within the military and defense sectors.
