Bitumen 20/30 – Hard Grade Penetration Bitumen
Description:
Bitumen 20/30 is a hard penetration grade bitumen commonly used in road construction, industrial applications, and waterproofing. It has a penetration range of 20 to 30 (0.1 mm at 25°C) and a high softening point, making it suitable for regions with high traffic loads and warm climates.
Uses:
- Road Construction: Ideal for asphalt pavements in heavy-traffic areas.
- Waterproofing: Used in roofing, damp-proofing, and sealing applications.
- Industrial Applications: Employed in pipe coatings, mastics, and bituminous paints.
- Airport Runways & Highways: Provides durable surfaces under heavy loads.
Packing & Shipping:
- Packing: Available in bulk (tank trucks/railcars), drums (180 kg), and customized packaging.
- Shipping: Complies with international standards, transported via sea, land, or air with proper safety measures.
