PENETRATION GRADE BITUMEN
ASTM Standard – Bitumen 200/300
Bitumen 200/300 is a very soft penetration grade bitumen ideal for use in extremely cold climates and specialized industrial applications. Due to its high flexibility and low stiffness, Penetration Grade Bitumen 200/300 is preferred in regions where temperatures drop significantly, ensuring that the pavement remains crack-free even under severe freezing conditions. Penetration Bitumen 200/300 is also widely used in the production of bitumen emulsions, cutbacks, and waterproofing membranes. Bitumen grade 200/300 offers reliable performance and is suitable for applications requiring enhanced workability and flexibility.
APPLICATIONS:
- Road construction in areas with extremely low temperatures.
- Manufacturing of emulsions, cutbacks, and other bituminous products.
- Waterproofing membranes and sealants for industrial and construction purposes.
- Applications requiring enhanced flexibility and low-temperature performance.
CHARACTERISTICS:
- Very soft consistency with a high penetration range.
- Exceptional flexibility, reducing the risk of cracking in cold conditions.
- Excellent adhesive properties for strong aggregate bonding.
- Stable and durable under extreme cold climates and environmental stress.
QUALITY STANDARD:
Our Penetration Grade Bitumen 200/300 is produced to meet stringent technical specifications set forth by ASTM D946M, ensuring consistent quality and performance.
