Product Description

Penetration Grade Bitumenis commonly used in road construction, surfacing, and some industrial applications. Additional processing of this type of Bitumen yields various grades of Bitumen products. The Penetration Test determines the hardness of Bitumen by measuring the depth ( in tenths of an mm) to which a standard and loaded needle will vertically penetrate in 5 seconds, a sample of Bitumen maintained at a temperature of *5°C. Hence the softer the bitumen, the greater will be its number of penetration units. Bitumen Grade *0/*0 is commonly used to manufacture Asphalt Mixes, Cut-back Bitumen, Bitumen Emulsions, and Modified Bitumen.

 

Quality:All Bitumen supplied is of the highest quality and fully compliant with ASTM and AASHTO, equivalent EN and BS International Standards and Test Methods. SGS Quality Testing and Analysis certification of the Bitumen products inspected when requested will be compliant with Product Specifications and International Standards. Quality assured manufacturing. Equivalent to BS EN ****1 and BS EN ****4.

 

Packaging:New steel drums, reconditioned steel drums or eco-friendly poly bags. Weatherproof packaging.

 

Storage and Handling Recommendations:Store in unopened containers. Storage temperature limits 1°C - *0°C. For normal operations, such as blending and transferring liquid bitumen, temperatures of *0ºC - *0ºC above the minimum pumping temperature are recommended.
