PENETRATION GRADE BITUMEN
ASTM Standard – Bitumen 85/100
Penetration Grade Bitumen 85/100 is a versatile penetration grade bitumen widely used in flexible pavement construction manufactured by refining crude oil under controlled conditions. Bitumen Grade 85/100 offers a balanced combination of hardness and flexibility, making it well-suited for a variety of climatic conditions. Asphalt grade bitumen 85/100 provides excellent adhesion and durability, allowing roads to withstand moderate traffic loads without significant wear. Its performance reliability and adaptability make Bitumen 85/100 a preferred choice for preparation of hot asphalt mixes for wearing courses and waterproofing materials used in infrastructure development.
ASTM 80/100
Penetration value test on bitumen is a measure of hardness or consistency of bituminous material. A 80/100 grade bitumen indicates that its penetration value lies between 80 & 100.
ASTM 100/120
Penetration Grade Bitumen 100/120 is a semi-hard bitumen that provides excellent flexibility and adhesive properties, making it suitable for diverse applications in road construction and the production of hot asphalt mixtures.
Characteristics
- Moderate penetration value provides flexibility and hardness.
- Effective resistance against deformation and environmental stress.
- Excellent adhesive properties, ensuring strong bonds in asphalt layers.
- Durable and weatherproof, ideal for long-term applications.
Applications
- Construction of roads, highways, and urban streets in medium traffic zones.
- Suitable for manufacturing asphalt mixtures for residential and commercial roads.
- Used in waterproofing applications for construction projects.
- Industrial uses, including production of roofing felt and sealing compounds.
