VISCOSITY GRADE BITUMEN
AR Standard – 8000
AR 8000 is a high-viscosity bitumen specifically formulated for applications requiring exceptional resistance to deformation under severe conditions. This bitumen grade offers unmatched durability and strength, making it suitable for the most demanding infrastructure projects. AR 8000 provides excellent adhesive properties, ensuring a strong bond with aggregates and enhancing the structural integrity of the asphalt mix. It is designed to perform well under extreme traffic loads and varying climatic conditions, from intense heat to freezing temperatures. The product is manufactured to meet stringent industry standards, ensuring consistent quality and reliability across all applications. AR 8000 is an ideal choice for projects that require a high-performance bitumen capable of withstanding the most challenging conditions.
APPLICATIONS
- AR 8000 is perfect for highways, airfields, and other areas subjected to exceptionally heavy traffic and load stress. Its high viscosity makes it ideal for use in high-performance hot mix asphalt (HMA) and specialized applications where maximum durability is required.
- This bitumen grade is often used in critical infrastructure projects such as runways, heavy-duty industrial pavements, and other locations where superior load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation are essential.
- AR 8000’s robustness ensures long-lasting performance, making it a preferred choice for engineers and contractors working on challenging projects that demand reliable and durable asphalt solutions capable of withstanding extreme conditions and heavy traffic loads.
QUALITY STANDARDS
AR 8000 adheres to the stringent requirements set forth by ASTM D 3381. This standard guarantees that the bitumen meets specific criteria, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
STORAGE:
Maintain storage temperatures between 150°C and 180°C to prevent hardening and ensure the bitumen remains workable.
Use steel containers or bitumen tanks that are designed to handle high temperatures and prevent contamination.
Ensure storage facilities are well-ventilated, dry, and protected from moisture to prevent oxidation and degradation.
Avoid prolonged storage at high temperatures and frequent temperature fluctuations, which can lead to the hardening and loss of essential properties.
