Bitumen 35/50 – Medium Penetration Grade Bitumen
Description:
Bitumen 35/50 is a medium penetration grade bitumen with a penetration range of 35 to 50 (0.1 mm at 25°C). It offers a balanced combination of flexibility and stiffness, making it suitable for various road construction and industrial applications. Its moderate softening point ensures good resistance to deformation under medium traffic loads and varying climatic conditions.
Uses:
- Road Construction: Ideal for asphalt pavements in urban roads, highways, and medium-traffic areas.
- Waterproofing & Roofing: Used in bituminous membranes, damp-proofing, and sealing applications.
- Industrial Applications: Manufacturing of mastics, pipe coatings, and corrosion protection layers.
- Airport Runways & Parking Lots: Provides durable surfaces under moderate loads.
Packing & Shipping:
- Packing:
- Bulk (tankers, railcars)
- New steel drums (180 kg)
- Polyethylene-lined bags (custom sizes)
- Shipping:
- Shipped globally via sea, land, or air
- Compliant with international safety standards (IMCO/IATA/ADR)
