Technical Specifications

Key Characteristics

• Penetration: The 60/90 penetration grade Bitumen is ideal for areas with moderate traffic conditions. The penetration range of 60-90 mm/10 indicates a balanced consistency that ensures good workability at ambient temperatures.

• Softening Point: With a softening point between 40°C and 60°C, Bitumen 60/90 is suitable for climates that do not experience extreme temperature variations. It ensures that the pavement remains stable without softening too quickly in high heat or becoming too brittle in colder conditions.

• Low Loss on Heating: The low loss on heating value (max 0.03%) ensures that the bitumen remains stable and does not degrade or lose important volatiles during manufacturing or application, improving its overall durability and performance.

• Flash Point: With a flash point of 230°C, Bitumen 60/90 meets safety standards and reduces the risk of fire during transportation and application.

• Solubility in Carbon Disulfide (CS₂): At 60.1%, the solubility in CS₂ confirms the purity and quality of the bitumen, ensuring it performs efficiently in asphalt production.

Applications of Bitumen 60/90

Bitumen 60/90’s unique properties make it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, particularly in the construction and infrastructure sectors:

1. Road Construction: This grade of bitumen is most commonly used for road and highway construction, where moderate traffic loads are expected. It provides the necessary balance between durability and flexibility, ensuring that the asphalt pavement can withstand varying temperature conditions and heavy traffic.

2. Asphalt Concrete Production: Bitumen 60/90 is used in asphalt concrete mixtures, especially for applications that require moderate hardness. It is mixed with aggregates to form asphalt mixes that can withstand the wear and tear from vehicle traffic.

3. Paving of Airports and Runways: It is also commonly used in the construction of airstrips and runways, where the bitumen must provide stability and resist high temperatures.

4. Waterproofing Applications: Due to its excellent adhesive and waterproofing properties, Bitumen 60/90 is also used in various construction applications where water resistance is a key concern, such as roofing membranes and waterproof coatings.

5. Industrial Coatings and Paints: Bitumen is used in the production of specialized coatings that offer both corrosion resistance and waterproofing, particularly for steel and metal structures in outdoor conditions.
