Bitumen 85-100
It’s kind of Bitumen which is provided during the process of oxidation of vacuum bottom the Bitumen production feedstock that derives from distillation tower residue in vacuum oil refineries at the Bitumen production unit. in which its penetration points become between 80/100.
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.
Bitumen 80/100 is one of the most used bitumen grades and basic material for all alternative bituminous products.
Voltronic Penetration Grades of Bitumen is produced from Vacuum Residue, which is blown by hot in the Biturox Blowing Unit; The fully automated process runs continuously resulting in a constant and homogeneous finished product quality.
Voltronic’s Penetration Grade Bitumen can be supplied in any grade and are designated by two numbers to indicate the mid-points of their penetration ranges. The penetration grade bitumen has 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.
