Bitumen 5/150

Description:
Bitumen 5/150 is a specialized penetration-grade bitumen designed for applications requiring a wide range of hardness and flexibility. It is a petroleum-based material with a semi-solid consistency, characterized by its penetration value ranging from 5 to 150 decimillimeters (1/10th of a millimeter) at 25°C, measured by a standard needle under specific conditions. This grade of bitumen is tailored for environments and uses where a broad spectrum of hardness and adaptability to temperature variations are required.

Uses:

  • Road Construction: Suitable for asphalt mixtures in regions with varying traffic and temperature conditions.
  • Waterproofing: Used in roofing, damp-proofing, and sealing applications to provide durable protection against water infiltration.
  • Industrial Applications: Utilized in the production of bituminous paints, coatings, and adhesives.
  • Crack Filling: Effective for filling cracks and joints in pavements and structures due to its wide range of hardness and flexibility.

Packing & Shipping:

  • Bitumen 5/150 is typically packed in steel drums, polybags, or bulk shipments.
  • Drums usually weigh 150-180 kg, while bulk shipments are transported in heated bitumen tankers to maintain liquidity.
  • Proper safety measures are followed during transportation to prevent spills and ensure compliance with international shipping regulations.
