Bitumen 80/100 Uses Road Construction and it is one standard penetrating bitumen that is produced during distillation of crude oil in Distillation towers. In general, bitumen is classified based on their degree of softness and level of penetration. Bitumen introduced by degree of penetration, so the penetration level of this bitumen is between 80 and100.
This bitumen has thermoplastic properties, it means that if it is exposed to heat, it becomes softer and if it is exposed to cold it becomes hardened. Bitumen 80/100 has high viscosity.
This grade of bitumen has proper performance in areas with cold weather. In other words, it is adaptable to cold regions, maintain structural integrity and prevent cracking, ensuring long term durability and safety.
However, due to its high viscosity, temperatures sensitivity and lower resistance to permanent deformation is not suitable for hot areas or for high traffic areas.
BITUMEN 80/100 APPLICATION
It is one of the widely used grades, and the following points out its most important uses. Bitumen 80/100 is mainly used in road construction projects and in the process of asphalt construction or reconstruction. This type of bitumen is used as the main adhesive in flexible asphalt layers, and it plays an important role in the cohesion and durability of asphalt mixtures. it has an important application in the production of hot mix asphalt and road paving stones.
In addition, bitumen 80/100 uses is widely used in waterproofing and other insulation products. These materials are used in the construction industry, petrochemical industries, and liquid bitumen.
Other uses include moisture insulation, protective coatings, bitumen sheets and coating mastic.
All products derived from this grade of bitumen play an effective role in increasing the resistance of structures to environmental factors.
With its affordable price and proper performance, bitumen 80/100 is an economic option that significantly increases consumer profits.
For transporting and sending this product normally 180 KG new steel drums and jumbo bags with pallets are used.
