Bitumen is a viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum consisting of hydrocarbons and their derivatives. It is obtained by refinery processes from petroleum or found as a natural deposit. It is usually available in dark colors ranging from brown to black. The main purpose of bitumen in flexible pavements is to strongly bind and hold the other pavement components together and provide a smooth and leveled surface for moving vehicles in road construction. Current world use of bitumen is approximately 100 million tonnes per year. About 85% of all bitumen produced (grade 6070) is used as a binder in asphalt for road construction. A further 10% is used in roofing applications and remaining 5% is used for sealing and insulating purposes. Elan InterTrade has very strong import sources of bitumen from UAEIran and is currently procuring them for Indian businesses primarily involved in roadway construction in order for them to meet their growing demands.

Pig Iron is the intermediate product of smelting iron ore with a high-carbon fuel such as coke, usually with limestone as a flux. Pig iron has a very high carbon content, typically 3.54.5%, along with silica and other constituents of dross. Merchant Pig Iron is cold iron, cast into ingots and sold as ferrous feedstock for the steel and metal casting industries. Merchant pig iron comprises three main types: BASIC Pig Iron used mainly in electric arc steelmaking, FOUNDRY Pig Iron used mainly in the manufacture of grey iron castings in cupola furnaces, and NODULAR Pig. Iron used in the manufacture of ductile iron castings. Pig iron contains at least 92% Fe.
