Oxidized Bitumen

Oxidized bitumen grades:

Industrial Bitumen is a dark, petroleum residue modified by the oxidation process. Its consistency ranges from highly viscous to solid. Industrial Bitumen is a safe and inexpensive material which has multiple uses in industry and a wide range of applications and has characteristics of Waterproofing, Plasticity, Adhesion and resistance towards acid and alkalis. It also makes an efficient electrical insulator, because it has excellent dielectric strength.

Application of oxidized bitumen :

• In building floors: damp-proofing and waterproofing; acid-alkali resistant flooring, conductive flooring; sparkles flooring.
• on building/roofing: manufacture of roofing felts, adhesives, primers, damp-proof coating compositions, liquid roof coatings, plastic cements and hot carriage roofing compounds.
• Hydro projects: canal lining, embankment, hydraulic structure, dam lining protection and sand stabilization.
• Roads: construction and maintenance.
• Industrial use: lamination, manufacture of caulking compounds, joint fillers, rubber extenders, battery sealing compounds, cable filling compounds etc.

Packing of oxidized bitumen

Available packing of oxidized bitumen is in card board , craft, polyamide bag and steel drum Oxidized bitumen (asphalt blown) is in grades of 75/30, 85/25, 85/40, 95/25, 105/35, 115/15
