Oxidized
Bitumen 115/15
Petra Oil’s Oxidized Bitumen 115/15 is a high-quality, air-blown bitumen designed for industrial and construction applications requiring a balance of moderate hardness and excellent high-temperature performance. With a softening point of approximately 115°C and a penetration value of 15 dmm at 25°C, Bitumen 115/15 is ideal for uses that demand thermal stability, water resistance, and long-term durability.
This grade is produced by oxidizing straight-run bitumen under controlled temperature and airflow, enhancing its thermoplastic properties and reducing its susceptibility to deformation under heat or load. Bitumen 115/15 maintains its form and functionality in demanding environments, making it a reliable solution for waterproofing, roofing membranes, pipe coating, and sealing joints. Bitumen 115/15 complies with ASTM D36 and D5 standards, ensuring consistent quality and predictable performance across different industrial sectors.
