Bitumen 60 / 70

What is Bitumen 60/70?

It is a kind of bitumen, which is provided during the process of oxidation of vacuum bottom (the bitumen production feedstock that derives from distillation tower residue in vacuum oil refineries) at bitumen production units. In a manner that its penetration point kind of test to indicate the hardness of bitumen) becomes between 60-70

Usage

Bitumen Penetration Grade 60/70 is a standard penetration grade Bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties. This grade bitumen, manufactured from fractional / vacuum distillation of crude oil.
