Bitumen 60-70

Bitumen 60/70, a standard penetration grade, is highly valued for road construction and high-quality asphalt pavements. Derived from crude oil distillation, it undergoes softening point testing, ensuring superior performance. Its thermoplastic nature enables softening at high temperatures and hardening at lower ones, influencing adhesion, rheology, durability, and application temperatures. The temperature/viscosity relationship depends on crude oil type and refining. Primarily used in hot mix asphalt for base and wearing courses, Bitumen 60/70 is reliable and versatile. Asphalt properties derived from it are temperature-dependent, influenced by crude oil and refining. As a semi-hard grade, it excels in paving applications, delivering longevity. Compliant with hot mix asphalt specifications, it plays a vital role in durable road surfaces. Widely used, Bitumen 60/70 is a foundational component for various bituminous products. Its exceptional attributes and ability to meet performance standards make it the preferred choice for superior asphalt pavements.
