Blown Bitumen

Blown bitumen (oxidized bitumen) is a modified bitumen with enhanced heat resistance, durability, and waterproofing properties. Produced by air-blowing hot bitumen, it has a high softening point and low penetration, making it ideal for roofing membranes, industrial coatings, and asphalt applications. Unlike standard bitumen, it excels in static applications but may be brittle in cold climates. Green Vision Group supplies premium blown bitumen for global industrial and construction needs.

Blown Bitumen, also known as Oxidized Bitumen, is a refined bitumen product manufactured by blowing air through penetration-grade bitumen under controlled conditions. This process alters its chemical structure, enhancing its softening point, reducing penetration, and improving elasticity compared to conventional bitumen. Blown Bitumen remains solid at room temperature but softens upon heating, making it an ideal choice for industrial applications requiring superior thermal stability, water resistance, and durability.

It is classified based on softening point and penetration grade, such as 85/25, 90/40, and 115/15, where the first number represents the softening point (°C) and the second denotes penetration (dmm).
