bitumen 100/120

description

Penetration Grade Bitumen is commonly used in road construction, surfacing and some industrial applications. Additional processing of this type of Bitumen yields various grades of Bitumen products. The Penetration Test determines the hardness of Bitumen by measuring the depth ( in tenths of a mm) to which a standard, and loaded needle will vertically penetrate in 5 seconds, a sample of Bitumen maintained at a temperature of 25°C. Hence the softer the bitumen, the greater will be its number of penetration units. Bitumen Grade 100/120 is commonly used to manufacture Asphalt Mixes, Cut-back Bitumen, Bitumen Emulsions and Modified Bitumen. Penetration Bitumen Grade 100/120 is derived from specially selected crude oils through a controlled refining process.

applications

Bitumen 100/120 is a standard penetration grade. Bitumen usually used for road construction and for the production of asphalt companies, roof insulation companies and membrane sheet manufactures pavements with superior properties.
