Bitumen 60/90 is a premium penetration grade bitumen commonly applied in road construction, asphalt paving, waterproofing systems, and various industrial uses. With a penetration range between 60 and 90, it strikes an optimal balance between flexibility and mechanical strength, making it particularly effective for infrastructure projects in moderate to warm climates. Its dependable performance under traffic stress and temperature fluctuations significantly enhances the durability and life span of asphalt pavements. This grade stands out for its strong adhesion to aggregates and construction surfaces, ensuring robust bonding and better structural cohesion in asphalt mixtures. The typical softening point of Bitumen 60/90 lies between 47°C and 55°C, enabling it to maintain its integrity against deformation at higher temperatures while remaining flexible enough to mitigate cracking at lower temperatures. These properties effectively reduce common pavement issues such as rutting, thermal cracking, and moisture-related damage. Bitumen 60/90 is widely utilized in producing hot mix asphalt for highways, city roads, airport runways, and other high-traffic zones. Beyond paving projects, it is extensively applied in surface treatments, roofing and waterproofing membranes, pipe coatings, and protective industrial layers. Its high resistance to water penetration and environmental stresses makes it a dependable choice for construction and industrial purposes alike. Produced in line with internationally recognized standards such as ASTM D946, EN 12591, and AASHTO M20, Bitumen 60/90 fulfills stringent quality and performance demands required for global projects. It is available in various forms bulk shipments, steel drums, or bitutainers offering flexibility to suit diverse logistical and project requirements while ensuring safe handling, efficient transportation, and consistent quality.
