Description
Bitumen 80/100 is a high-quality, medium-viscosity asphalt product, primarily used in road construction, paving, and various industrial applications. The 80/100 grade refers to the penetration index, indicating the material's hardness and viscosity, which makes it suitable for a variety of climates and usage scenarios. This bitumen grade is manufactured by refining crude oil and is commonly used in both hot and cold climates, providing excellent stability and durability in different environmental conditions. Bitumen 80/100 is produced in Germany and meets high international and environmental standards for performance and safety.
Application:
Bitumen 80/100 is versatile and is used in a wide range of industries, particularly in construction and infrastructure:
- Road Construction: Primarily used in the production of hot-mix asphalt for road construction, highways, and airstrips, offering superior strength and durability under high traffic conditions.
- Paving and Surfacing: Commonly used for surface dressing, providing strong bonding for asphalt mixtures used on roads, parking lots, and driveways.
- Roofing: Utilized in the manufacturing of roofing materials, such as bituminous membrane systems and waterproof coatings, offering resistance to environmental elements.
- Waterproofing: Employed in waterproofing applications for tunnels, bridges, dams, and basements.
- Sealcoating: Used in road maintenance for the sealcoating of asphalt pavements to protect them from wear and tear, oxidation, and moisture infiltration.
- Industrial Uses: Involved in the production of adhesives, tar-based products, and other construction materials that require high durability and weather resistance.
