Bitumen is a semi-solid material primarily derived from the distillation of crude oil and is an essential substance in the construction industry and other sectors. Due to its unique properties, such as adhesiveness, waterproofing, and resistance to water, bitumen has a wide range of applications.
WHAT WE SUPPLY ?
The company supply high quality products from well-reputed manufacturers, mainly as follows:
Types of Bitumen
- Natural Bitumen: Bitumen that is found naturally in the earth, usually in a heavy and sticky form.
- Industrial Bitumen (Petroleum Bitumen): This type of bitumen is obtained from the refining of crude oil and can be divided into two categories:
- Pure Bitumen: Bitumen produced without the addition of other materials.
- Modified Bitumen: Bitumen that has been enhanced by adding polymers or other materials.
- Emulsified Bitumen: Bitumen that is suspended in water and used for specific applications such as asphalt paving and insulation coatings.
- Polymer-Modified Bitumen: Bitumen that is combined with polymers to provide better properties compared to conventional bitumens, such as increased resistance to heat and weather changes.
Applications of Bitumen
- Road Construction: Bitumen is used as a binder for asphalt mixtures in the construction and repair of roads.
- Waterproofing: Bitumen is employed in waterproofing buildings and facilities to prevent water and moisture infiltration.
- Protective Coatings: Bitumen is used for coating various surfaces, such as roofs and walls, to protect against weather elements.
- Oil and Gas Industry: Bitumen serves as insulation and protection in the production of pipelines for transporting oil and gas.
- Chemical Manufacturing: Some types of bitumen are utilized as raw materials in the production of various chemicals.
VISCOSITY BITUMEN
Compared to Penetrating grade, this type of bitumen is produced focusing on viscosity control. Accordingly, it can be better option for very low temperature area, high-altitude location, heavy-duty parking lots and roads with high traffic load.
Depending on Geographical and climate are of using bitumen, it can be recommended specific grade for the best functionality. We will assist our customers to select suitable products for their application.
