Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 is semi-solid Bitumen known by some formula according to application in industries such as:

Elementally, it contains 93% carbon and around 5% hydrogen, and other chemical contents are up to 1% sulfur, 1% nitrogen, 1% oxygen, and 2000ppm metals.

Bitumen Products are composed mainly of highly condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 is manufactured using a carefully controlled oxidation process that transforms conventional petroleum bitumen into a high-performance industrial material. The process modifies the molecular structure of the bitumen, producing a grade with enhanced heat resistance, waterproofing capability, and mechanical stability suitable for demanding industrial applications.

The production begins by charging premium quality petroleum bitumen into an oxidation vessel, where it is heated to the required processing temperature. Controlled air is then introduced through the molten bitumen for a predetermined period. During this reaction, oxygen combines with the hydrocarbon molecules, increasing the concentration of high-molecular-weight compounds while reducing lighter fractions. This transformation gives the material its characteristic high softening point and controlled penetration.

Production Control

To ensure consistent quality, several production parameters are continuously monitored, including:

• Oxidation temperature
• Air injection rate
• Reaction time
• Reactor pressure
• Product viscosity
• Penetration and softening point

The oxidation process is completed when the material achieves the typical physical properties of:

• Softening Point: Approximately 95°C
• Penetration: Approximately 25 dmm

Unlike many industrial materials, Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 is performance based rather than formulation based. Its quality is determined by laboratory tested physical properties instead of a fixed chemical composition.

The finished product is suitable for manufacturing waterproofing membranes, roofing compounds, industrial mastics, expansion joint fillers, anti-corrosion coatings, pipe protection systems, cable compounds, adhesives, and insulation materials. Its optimized production process provides excellent thermal stability, strong adhesion, outstanding weather resistance, and a long service life, making Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 a reliable solution for construction and industrial applications worldwide.

Packing of this type of bitumen would be 25 kg poly bags or 25 kg carton boxes with pallets or without pallets.
