Bitumen 85/100
Bitumen 85/100 is another grade of penetrating bitumen, that is called road bitumen. It is taking from refinery process at the bottom of the distillation tower. Permeability is specified in relation of the amount of penetration and softness degree.
Bitumen 85/10 General Applications
It is, the most widely used in road covering and coating. Bitumen 85/100 is using in asphalt and road construction. It is a part of hot asphalt mixture.
Packing types
Bitumen 85/100 is supplying normally in steel drums from 160 to 190 kg. It is also packed in bitubag (Jumbo bag which is using for packing in hot temperature) by some different capacity. It is also offering in bulk. bitumen also in oxidized bitumen packing is available
Customers and Export destinations
Bitumen 85/100, has too many demands from all around the world for road coating and making hot asphalt. So, we are exporting CIS, East African, India, American, Asian countries.
