Key Characteristics
-
Penetration: Optimal for areas requiring balanced flexibility and strength, the penetration range of 80-100 mm/10 ensures the bitumen remains workable and adaptable in asphalt production.
-
Softening Point: This range (42-52°C) is well-suited for applications in moderate climates, delivering stable performance without excessive softening in high temperatures.
-
High Ductility: Bitumen 80/100 offers a ductility of 100 cm, which supports enhanced flexibility, crucial for preventing cracks under traffic loads and environmental stress.
-
High Flash Point: Ensures safety during application by minimizing fire risk, with a minimum flash point of 240°C.
-
Durability: The balance of retention in penetration and minimal softening point increase after aging (T.F.O.T) signifies long-lasting performance, ideal for extensive infrastructure projects.
Applications of Bitumen 80/100
Bitumen 80/100 is versatile and suitable for a variety of construction and industrial applications, notably:
-
Road and Highway Construction: Essential in constructing flexible pavements, effectively withstanding the mechanical stress from vehicular traffic.
