Performance Grade (PG) bitumen is bitumen which is graded based on its performance at different temperatures. The Long-Term Pavement Performance(LTPP) has given certain algorithm to calculate the temperature of the pavement based on the temperature of the air above. From this, the highest and the lowest temperatures of the pavement is calculated and the bitumen that performs well in that temperature range is selected.
Penetration grading and viscosity grading are somewhat limited in their ability to fully characterize asphalt binder for use in Hot Mix Asphalt(HMA) pavement. Therefore, as part of the Superpave research effort new binder tests and specifications were developed to more accurately and fully characterize asphalt binders for use in HMA pavements. These tests and specifications are specifically designed to address HMA pavement performance parameters such as rutting, fatigue cracking and thermal cracking.

Bitumen Grade 60/70 is a high-quality, semi-solid petroleum product derived from the distillation of crude oil. Known for its excellent adhesive and waterproofing properties, this grade of bitumen is primarily used in the construction and maintenance of roads, runways, and other infrastructure projects. It is particularly well-suited for hot climates due to its optimal softening point and penetration range, which ensures long-lasting performance even under high temperatures.

Key Features:

Penetration Grade: 60/70, offering a perfect balance between hardness and softness, making it ideal for road construction.
Softening Point: Ensures stability under high-temperature conditions, reducing the risk of road deformation.
Adhesive Properties: Excellent adhesion to aggregates, providing strong and durable road surfaces.
Waterproofing: Superior water resistance, protecting the pavement from water damage and extending the lifespan of roads.
Durability: High resistance to aging and weathering, ensuring prolonged service life of the infrastructure.


Applications:

Road Construction: Ideal for the construction of high-traffic roads, highways, and expressways.
Airport Runways: Ensures smooth and durable surfaces for airport runways, capable of withstanding heavy loads.
Paving: Suitable for various paving applications, including urban roads, rural roads, and parking lots.
Waterproofing: Used in waterproofing membranes and roofing applications, providing excellent protection against moisture.


Specifications:

Penetration at 25 C: 60-70 dmm
Softening Point: 49-56 C
Flash Point: Minimum 232 C
Ductility at 25 C: Minimum 100 cm
Solubility in Trichloroethylene: Minimum 99.0%
Specific Gravity: 1.01-1.06


Packaging: Available in drums, bulk containers, or as per customer requirements.

Compliance: Bitumen Grade 60/70 meets international standards and specifications, ensuring consistent quality and performance across all applications.



Why Choose Bitumen Grade 60/70?

Proven Performance: Trusted by engineers and construction professionals worldwide for its reliability and durability.
Versatile Applications: Suitable for a wide range of paving and waterproofing projects.
High Quality: Manufactured under stringent quality control measures to meet global standards.

Bitumen

Product Description :
Bitumen is widely used in the construction of asphalt roads and bituminous membrane products. Bitumen is commonly used to build highways, motorways and rail networks. Bitumen has excellent water-proofing properties and is widely used for making roofing products along with a range of other household and industrial applications, from emulsion paints to sound-proofing. Penetration Bitumen and Bitumen Emulsions are used for the construction of railway tracks and by using special types of bitumen such as Polymer Modified Bitumen, the vibration and noise levels are reduced due to a dampening effect. Bitumen has been proven to be effective on both high-speed railway tracks and heavy load railway tracks. Bitumen is also used for surfacing airfield runways and air strips (PMB is preffered due to its fuel resistant properties) and taxi ways. For the Marine construction industry bitumen is used for hydraulic applications such as canal lining, underwater tunnels, river bank protection, dam construction and sea defences. There are also numerous industrial applications like roofing felt material, printing inks, packaging paper, linoleum, electrical cable / Junction box insulation, mastic for roofing of terraces, and duplex paper manufacture.
