Bitumen Penetration Grade
Description
Bitumen 35/50 is a high quality bitumen with the most modern industrial processes and using appropriate crude oils. It has an optimum viscosity in the range of temperatures for mixing and laying that guarantees easy workability of the products, even for high stress conditions.
The product meets the European standard EN 12591 and achieves the maximum level of hardening resistance.
Uses
Bitumen 35/50, thanks to its very high performance in terms of resistance to aging, plasticity and behaviour at low temperatures, is employed to produce bituminous mixes constituting flexible structure for the paving of roadways, runways, pavement, track race and landing platform.

Description
Penetration Graded Bitumen 10/20 is high-quality asphalt, derived from crude petroleum refining. It is dark in color and possesses waterproofing and adhesive properties. It is substantially non-volatile and softens gradually when heated.Uses
Bitumen 10/20 is commonly used for the production of hot mix asphalt for the base and wearing courses. a thinner pavement design Usage: The main common usage of bitumen 10/20 is being used in the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt for the base and wearing courses. Due to its high level of viscosity, it enables a thinner pavement engineering design and an overall 30 percent reduction in the amount of asphalt being applied.Specification
