Bitumen 200/300
Bitumen 200/300 is a type of penetration bitumen produced from crude oil. This bitumen has a penetration degree of 200 to 300 mm at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius.
Due to its physical and chemical properties, it is used in a wide range of applications including construction, road construction, and asphalt production.
This bitumen is a valuable material used in a wide range of applications. This bitumen has favorable physical and chemical properties that make it suitable for use in these applications.
Bitumen Penetration Grade 200/300 is a standard penetration grade Bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses.
Penetration Grade bitumen are specified by the penetration and softening point test. The designation is by penetration range only. The penetration grade bitumen have a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/ viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability and application temperatures of bitumen.
Penetration Grade Bitumen is a standard bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen essential for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties, and it’s very important once it bounds the aggregates and creates a unique cohesion and stability to the bituminous mix.
200/300 is a standard Penetration Grade of Bitumen ASTM D946-09, typically used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties particularly in road and airport constructions and other similar applications. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses. Penetration Grades of Bitumen is produced from Vacuum Residue, which is blown by hot air in the BituRox Blowing Unit; The fully automated process runs continuously resulting in a constant and homogeneous finished product quality.
