Bitumen, Physical State : Liquid

Bitumen is a product of Crude oil distillation. It is a semi-solid hydrocarbon product produced by removing the lighter fractions (such as liquid petroleum gas, petrol and diesel) from heavy crude oil during the refining process. As such, it is correctly known as refined bitumen. We deal in grades 40/50, 60/70 & 80/100 and supply new drums & bulk vessel.

Our direct access to renowned refineries ensures high-quality procurement of bitumen and currently we are exporting 50,000 metric tons per annum to India, China, and Africa.

Based on the generation source bitumen can be classified into three categories: natural, petroleum asphalts, coal tar pitches. Based on their applications, bitumen can be divided into two groups: road construction or thin bitumen and building bitumen (roof insulator) or hard bitumen.

Known for its adhesive and cohesive assets, bitumen is mostly utilised in the construction industry. Bitumen is applied on road paving because it is viscous when hot, but solid once it cools down. Therefore Bitumen operates as the binder/glue for pieces of the aggregate.

The vast majority of refined bitumen is used in construction: primarily as a constituent of products used in paving and roofing applications. According to the requirements of the end use bitumen is produced to specification. This is achieved either by refining process or blending.

It is estimated that the current world use of bitumen is approximately 102 million tonnes per year. Approximately 85% of all the bitumen produced is used as the binder in asphalt for roads.
