Asphalt is packaged in containers having breakage means, such as short notches, long channels, wedges or molded parts, to allow for easy breakage into smaller portions for ease of handling and feeding into kettles. Asphalt is also packaged so as to improve cold flow of the block while simultaneously reducing fumes at the kettle. The containers have various features to enhance processability and handleability, including a handhold portions and/or scooped portions. |
