Overview

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia · Read full article · Text CC BY-SA 4.0

Aggregate is the component of a composite material that resists compressive stress and provides bulk to the material. For efficient filling, aggregate should be much smaller than the finished item, but have a wide variety of sizes. Aggregates are generally added to lower the amount of binders needed and to increase the strength of composite materials.
