Bitumen known as asphalt in parts of the world, is a hydrocarbon material. It has high viscosity and colloidal structure, and black to dark brown color. It's dissolvable in carbon disulfide and carbon tetrachloride.
It is impenetrable to moisture and water, electrical insulation, elasticity, moderate resistance against acids, bases and salts. Its adhesions to other materials are the most important features of bitumen.
Bitumen 60/70 is used for road construction projects in temperate regions. It can be used to produce some of the basic layers of asphalt and insulation.
Technical and grades specification are available upon request.
Penetration Grade Bitumen is a standard bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen essential for road construction and the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties, and it's very important once it bounds the aggregates and creates a unique cohesion and stability to the bituminous mix.
This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses.
Grades of penetration bitumen:
The most popular grades are; grades 40/50, 60/70, 80/100, 85/100, and 100/120. We are also capable of producing other grades of Penetration Bitumen upon request by our customers.
Bitumen Grade 60/70 is a high-quality, semi-solid petroleum product derived from the distillation of crude oil. Known for its excellent adhesive and waterproofing properties, this grade of bitumen is primarily used in the construction and maintenance of roads, runways, and other infrastructure projects. It is particularly well-suited for hot climates due to its optimal softening point and penetration range, which ensures long-lasting performance even under high temperatures.
Key Features:
Penetration Grade: 60/70, offering a perfect balance between hardness and softness, making it ideal for road construction.
Softening Point: Ensures stability under high-temperature conditions, reducing the risk of road deformation.
Adhesive Properties: Excellent adhesion to aggregates, providing strong and durable road surfaces.
Waterproofing: Superior water resistance, protecting the pavement from water damage and extending the lifespan of roads.
Durability: High resistance to aging and weathering, ensuring prolonged service life of the infrastructure.
Applications:
Road Construction: Ideal for the construction of high-traffic roads, highways, and expressways.
Airport Runways: Ensures smooth and durable surfaces for airport runways, capable of withstanding heavy loads.
Paving: Suitable for various paving applications, including urban roads, rural roads, and parking lots.
Waterproofing: Used in waterproofing membranes and roofing applications, providing excellent protection against moisture.
Specifications:
Penetration at 25 C: 60-70 dmm
Softening Point: 49-56 C
Flash Point: Minimum 232 C

IRAN BITUMEN GRADE 60/70
Bitumen penetration grade 60/70 is semi-hard penetration grade bitumen using as paving grade bitumen suitable for road construction and repair also for the production of asphalt pavements with the below technical specification. This grade of bitumen is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses.Bitumen 60/70 is most used bitumen grade and basic material for all other bituminous products.
Bitumen Penetration Grade 80/100 is a standard penetration grade Bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses. Penetration Grade Bitumen supplied by ASI GLOBAL TRADE is petroleum grade bitumen, manufactured from fractional / vacuum distillation of crude oil. The Bitumen supplied by ASI GLOBAL TRADE is produced from vacuum residue (short residue) feedstock. Penetration Grade bitumens are specified by the penetration and softening point test. Designation is by penetration range only. The penetration grade bitumens have a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/ viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability and application temperatures of bitumen.
