Bitumen 80/100
Bitumen 80/100 is another grade of penetrating bitumen, that is called road bitumen. Bitumen 80/100 is taking from refinery process at the bottom of the distillation tower. Permeability of Bitumen 80/100 is specified in relation of the amount of penetration and softness degree, which is between 80-100.
