Bitumen known as asphalt in parts of the world, is a hydrocarbon material. It has high viscosity and colloidal structure, and black to dark brown color. It's dissolvable in carbon disulfide and carbon tetrachloride.
It is impenetrable to moisture and water, electrical insulation, elasticity, moderate resistance against acids, bases and salts. Its adhesions to other materials are the most important features of bitumen.
Bitumen 60/70 is used for road construction projects in temperate regions. It can be used to produce some of the basic layers of asphalt and insulation.
