Bitumen 80/100
general description of bitumen 80/100 grade
Bitumen 80/100 is typically recognized as a dark brown to black material, primarily derived from the distillation of crude oil. Moreover, as a soft penetration grade, it finds widespread application as a binder for mineral aggregates in road pavements. Additionally, this grade serves effectively in various other roles, such as in waterproofing and as a joint sealant. Therefore, its versatility makes it an essential component in the construction industry. Furthermore, the properties of bitumen 80/100 ensure it meets the demanding requirements of road construction, thus contributing to the durability and performance of asphalt surfaces. Furthermore, this versatile grade serves effectively as a waterproofing material, a reliable joint sealant, and an essential component in roofing applications. In particular, the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses heavily relies on this grade of bitumen.
Moreover, this type of bitumen exhibits strong adhesive properties and demonstrates remarkable resistance to damage from water and oil spills. Thus, it serves as an ideal binder for asphalt, which is frequently utilized as a surface material for roads, car parks, and driveways. Consequently, its robust characteristics ensure long-lasting performance in various applications.
softening point and penetration bitumen 80/100
The penetration grade bitumen supplied by Basekim stands out as pure petroleum bitumen, produced from vacuum bottom by passing hot air. Additionally, Basekim manufactures this bitumen from the remnants of crude oil after the cracking and removal of hydrocarbons. Specifically, bitumen 80/100 features a penetration range of 80 to 100 desi-millimeters, while its softening point falls between 42 and 50°C. Furthermore, this penetration grade possesses thermoplastic properties, akin to synthetic resin materials, which allow it to soften with heating and harden upon cooling. As a result, bitumen 80/100 maintains a strong viscosity compared to other grades, thereby enhancing its effectiveness in various applications.
