Alps Oxide Bitumen 75/25
Description:
Oxide Bitumen 75/25 is a specialized form of bitumen that has been oxidized to enhance its properties, such as increased hardness, higher softening point, and improved durability. The numbers 75/25 refer to its softening point (75°C) and penetration value (25 decimillimeters at 25°C). This type of bitumen is produced by blowing air through hot bitumen, resulting in a material with superior resistance to temperature fluctuations, aging, and deformation.
Uses:
– Roofing and Waterproofing: Widely used in the production of roofing felt, waterproofing membranes, and damp-proofing materials due to its high softening point and durability.
– Paints and Coatings: Incorporated into industrial paints and coatings to enhance weather resistance and adhesion properties.
– Pipe Coatings: Applied as a protective coating for pipelines to prevent corrosion and mechanical damage.
– Sealants and Adhesives: Used in sealants and adhesives for improved performance in demanding environments.
– Industrial Applications: Utilized in the production of mastics, joint fillers, and other construction materials.
Packing & Shipping:
– Oxide Bitumen 75/25 is typically packed in 25 kg multi-wall paper bags, 500-1000 kg jumbo bags, or bulk shipments.
– It can also be supplied in solid blocks or slabs for specific applications.
– Proper safety measures are followed during transportation to ensure compliance with international shipping regulations.
– Storage should be in a cool, dry place to maintain its quality and performance.
