Bitumen grade 70/60 is a grade of standard penetrating bitumen and is one of the most widely used bitumen types in the world. This type of bitumen is used as a material for paving roads. This exported bitumen is known as medium-grade bitumen for road construction and asphalt pavement production with superior properties and is used for construction projects.
This grade of bitumen is mainly used in making hot asphalt as a mixture of bitumen and stone materials. The degree of bitumen 70/60 is determined by the penetration test and softening in a certain period of time. As you have noticed, the penetration degree is determined by the penetration test. Only performance parameters such as adhesion, rheology, durability and tolerance of a certain temperature can determine bitumen grading.

We can source excellent quality of bitumen with different grades like 10/20 , 60/70 , 80/100 in both bulk and drums from Oman. Bitumen typically used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties In bulk we can able to offer 50,000 mt per month.
Bitumen Penetration Grade 80/100 is a standard penetration grade Bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses. Penetration Grade Bitumen supplied by ASI GLOBAL TRADE is petroleum grade bitumen, manufactured from fractional / vacuum distillation of crude oil. The Bitumen supplied by ASI GLOBAL TRADE is produced from vacuum residue (short residue) feedstock. Penetration Grade bitumens are specified by the penetration and softening point test. Designation is by penetration range only. The penetration grade bitumens have a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/ viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability and application temperatures of bitumen.

Bitumen, often referred to as asphalt, is a viscous, black, and sticky substance. It is a semi-solid form of petroleum and is primarily used as a binder in road construction. When mixed with aggregates, it forms asphalt concrete, the material commonly used for paving roads.
Primary Characteristics:
Appearance: Thick, black to dark brown substance.
Temperature Sensitivity: Becomes liquid when heated and returns to a semi-solid state upon cooling.
Water Resistance: Acts as a waterproofing agent, making it ideal for various sealing applications.
Adhesion: Excellent adhesive properties, allowing it to bind aggregates together effectively.
Grades & Types:
Bitumen comes in various grades, primarily determined by its viscosity and penetration value. Common types include:
Paving Grade Bitumen: Used in road construction.
Oxidized Bitumen: Produced by air blowing and has stiffer properties.
Cutback Bitumen: Bitumen diluted with solvents to reduce viscosity for specific applications.
Modified Bitumen: Bitumen altered with polymers to enhance its properties.
Applications:
Road Construction: Mainly used as a binder mixed with aggregates to pave roads.
Roofing: Used as a waterproofing agent in roofing felts.
Dams & Reservoirs: Acts as a waterproofing membrane.
Soundproofing: Used in soundproofing materials due to its insulating properties.
Advantages:
Durability: Offers a long-lasting paving solution, able to withstand various weather conditions.
Cost-effective: Provides a reliable and economical material for large-scale infrastructure projects.
Recyclable: Old bituminous roads can be reprocessed to produce new roads.
