Bitumen 70/100
DEFINITION:
Bitumen 70/100 is a standard grade of bitumen that is often used in the construction industry for coatings of superior quality. This grade of bitumen is normally used in our daily life as a base raw material for bituminous asphalt by means of spraying, sawdust application and many more. The bitumen grade is produced from vacuum blown with hot air in a controlled process until the desired specification is reached.
CHARACTERISTICS AND SPECIFICATIONS:
The Bitumen Grade 70/100 is produced in compliance and conformity to European Standard EN 12591:2009, also, meets the following specification requirements.
