Bitumen 85 / 100

What is Bitumen 85/100?

Bitumen 85/100 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. The penetration point of our Bitumen 85/100 lies between 85 -100.

Usage

Bitumen Penetration Grade 85/100 is a standard penetration grade Bitumen. It is used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses.
