we know commonly Bitumen Penetration as penetration grade bitumen. Firstly, It is a standard form of bitumen that we graded based on its hardness level.
Secondly, we determine this grading through a penetration test. And Which we measures the depth a standard needle penetrates the bitumen under specific conditions. In conclusion The penetration value of bitumen is crucial as it indicates its suitability for various road construction applications, for instance.
The production of penetration grade bitumen involves a series of steps:
Distillation: However, Crude oil is initially distilled in a refinery to separate the lighter fractions from the heavier ones. And It resulting in raw bitumen.
Refining: In addition The raw bitumen undergoes further refining to remove impurities and to achieve the desired consistency.
Oxidized bitumen, often referred to as blown bitumen is a specialized form of bitumen. It is created through a process that significantly alters the properties of the standard bitumen, making it more suitable for various industrial applications. This type of bitumen is distinguished by its increased resistance to water and temperature changes, playing a pivotal role in road construction and waterproofing solutions. It is produced by bitumenoxidized company
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.
