Asphalt pavements are simply a combination of rock, sand and a binding agent; asphalt cement. This asphalt cement has a poor resistance to sunlight. The sunlight breaks down the natural chemical structure of asphalt. The first visible sign of this breakdown is the color change from black to gray. Also asphalt is a petroleum based product and when other petroleum products, fuel and oils, are introduced to your existing paving this causes a breakdown of the binding agent.
