Oxidized
Bitumen 105/15
Petra Oil’s Oxidized Bitumen 150/5 is a high-performance, semi-solid bitumen product produced through a controlled air-blowing process, enhancing its softening point and reducing its penetration. Designed for industrial applications that demand high-temperature resistance, rigidity, and low temperature-sensitivity, Bitumen 150/5 is widely used in waterproofing, pipe coating, roofing, and various specialized construction needs.
This grade, identified by its penetration value of 5 (0.1 mm at 25°C) and a softening point of approximately 150°C, offers a very hard consistency and excellent thermal stability. It remains stable under load, exposure to heat, and aging, making it a preferred choice for applications that experience sustained high temperatures or pressure. Unlike conventional penetration grade bitumen, Oxidized Bitumen 150/5 does not become soft or tacky in warm conditions, nor does it become brittle in the cold.
Manufactured to conform with ASTM D36 and D5 standards, Petra Oil ensures that Bitumen 150/5 delivers reliable performance, chemical resistance, and adhesion across a wide range of industrial uses.
