BITUMEN 40-50 Penetration Grade
$0.00Penetration Grade Bitumen is a standard bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen essential for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties, and it’s very important once it bounds the aggregates and creates a unique cohesion and stability to the bituminous mix.
BITUMEN 40/50 Penetration Grade
$0.00Bitumen 40/50 is a penetration grade bitumen means the penetration value is in the range 40 to 50 at standard test conditions which commonly used as a Paving Grade. This bitumen is petroleum grade bitumen, produced from fractional distillation of crude oil and vacuum residue (short residue) feedstock. Bitumen 40/50 is applicable for the production of hot mix asphalt for bases and pavements and for road.it is used in tropical areas.
BITUMEN 60-70 Penetration Grade
$0.00Penetration Grade Bitumen is a standard bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen essential for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties, and it’s very important once it bounds the aggregates and creates a unique cohesion and stability to the bituminous mix.
BITUMEN 60/70 Penetration Grade
$0.00Bitumen Penetration Grade 60/70 which is produced during the process of oxidation of vacuum bottom in distillation tower and its penetration grade is between 60 & 70. The most common usage of bitumen 60/70 is in road construction, water proofing & building construction industries and also in cutback bitumen production. This kind of bitumen is suitable to be used in mild regions.
BITUMEN 80-100 Penetration Grade
$0.00Penetration Grade Bitumen is a standard bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen essential for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties, and it’s very important once it bounds the aggregates and creates a unique cohesion and stability to the bituminous mix.
BITUMEN 85-100 Penetration Grade
$0.00Penetration Grade Bitumen is a standard bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen essential for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties, and it’s very important once it bounds the aggregates and creates a unique cohesion and stability to the bituminous mix.
BITUMEN 85/100 Penetration Grade
$0.00Bitumen Penetration Grade 85/100 which is produced during the process of oxidation of vacuum bottom in distillation tower and its penetration grade is between 85 & 100. This bitumen manufactured from fractional/vacuum distillation of crude oil. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in road construction, water proofing, building construction industries and also in cutback bitumen production. This kind of bitumen is suitable to use in cold regions.
CUTBACK MC250-Cutback bitumen
$0.00Bitumen is ‘cutback’ by adding controlled amounts of petroleum distillates such as kerosene. This is done to reduce the viscosity of the bitumen temporarily so it can penetrate pavements more effectively or to allow spraying at temperatures that are too cold for successful sprayed sealing with neat bitumen.
CUTBACK MC250-Cutback bitumen
$0.00Bitumen is “cutback” by adding controlled amounts of petroleum distillates, such as kerosene. Type and quality of Cutback depends on type and amount of solvent in the pure bitumen. The more solvent in Cutback bitumen, leads to the more viscosity in bitumen. Cutback bitumen is used when there is limited access to heating equipment, bitumen decomposition in high temperature, bitumen cooling throughout working, workers safety, fire and time consuming. This type of bitumen is used in road operations for surfacing and pavement. Medium-Curing (MC) bitumen is achieved from solving pure bitumen into kerosene.
Cutback bitumen is classified based on viscosity grade. It is divided into three categories:
Rapid-Curing (RC)
The cutback bitumen is known as rapid-curing (RC) if the bitumen is solved in gasoline. The reason is that evaporation occurs quickly and the bitumen is deposited. RC cutbacks are divided into RC250, RC70, RC800 and RC3000 categories. The numbers indicate the viscosity of bitumen. Naphtha could be mixed with bitumen 80/100 for more dilution.
Medium-Curing (MC)
MC cutbacks are prepared by solving bitumen in kerosene which evaporates more slowly than gasoline. MC cutbacks are divided into five groups with their viscosity varying from 3-4 to 6,000 at 60 degrees Centigrade. This kind of bitumen may be achieved by solving bitumen 85/100 in Kerosene.
Slow-Curing (SC)
Slow-curing cutback may be achieved from solving bitumen in gasoil or fuel oil or directly from distillation of crude oil. SC cutbacks do not evaporate under normal weather conditions, but they gradually experience changes in their molecular form. This kind of bitumen is achieved from solving bitumen 85/100 in heavy solvent such as Gasoil or Fuel oil which will not only evaporate but also make it hard. Types of this kind of bitumen includes SC 70, SC 250, SC800 and SC 3000.
