English translation:asphalt coating/bituminous coating & bituminous paint/asphalt paint(both are applicable)
Explanation:
In British English, the word 'asphalt' refers to a mixture of mineral aggregate and bitumen. In American English, bitumen is referred to as 'asphalt' or 'asphalt cement' in engineering jargon. In Australian English, bitumen is sometimes used as the generic term for road surfaces. In Canadian English, the word bitumen is used to refer to the vast Canadian deposits of extremely heavy crude oil, while asphalt is used for the oil refinery product used to pave roads and manufacture roof shingles.
