Description:
Bitumen 200/300 is a penetration-grade bitumen characterized by its higher penetration value, making it softer compared to other grades like Bitumen 120/150. It is produced through the refining of crude oil and is widely used in applications requiring a more flexible and adhesive material. The “200/300” designation refers to its penetration range, which indicates its softer consistency. This grade is particularly suitable for colder climates and regions where flexibility and resistance to thermal cracking are essential.
Uses:
- Road construction in colder climates
- Asphalt production for flexible pavements
- Waterproofing applications (e.g., roofs, basements)
- Manufacturing of bituminous coatings and sealants
- Industrial uses such as pipe coatings and joint fillers
Packing & Shipping:
- Packed in steel drums (150-200 kg capacity)
- Bulk shipments in heated bitumen tankers or containers
- Custom packaging options available
- Compliant with international shipping and safety standards
