Bitumen-C320
Class 320 bitumen is utilized in the making of asphalt pavements in higher traffic areas due to its exponential resistance to fatigue and high viscosity that withstand elevated temperatures and heavy traffic loads. Due to its high viscosity property, Bitumen C320 is employed in making highways and expressways where the traffic loads are higher.
In comparison with Bitumen C240, Class 320 Bitumen works well in warmer climates for making asphalt pavements. It’s renowned for its exceptional performance, durability and resistance to deformation to ensure the integrity of structures and pavements.
Australian Standard c240
Bitumen C240 is generally used in paving surfaces and sealing cracks because of its superior resistance to adverse weather conditions and excellent adhesive properties. Bitumen C240 has higher viscosity compared to Bitumen C170 which enables it to be used in asphalt pavements in warmer climates where traffic volume is moderate.
Australian Standard C450
Bitumen C450 bitumen is built for use in high-stress environments and regions with extreme heat. It is used in making asphalt pavements and structures. With its high viscosity, Class 450 Bitumen is ideal for highways, intersections, and industrial areas that endure heavy traffic loads and hot temperatures, offering exceptional resistance to softening and deformation.
Quality Standard
Petra Oil’s Bitumen C320 is meticulously engineered to comply with the stringent requirements established by the Australian Standard AS2008. Our comprehensive Quality Check (QC) process ensures that the bitumen C320 meets the high standards of quality and performance required for your projects.
