Derived from crude oil distillation, it undergoes softening point testing, ensuring superior performance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Applications:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Road Construction<\/strong>: Due to its balanced hardness and softness, Bitumen 60\/70 is widely used in HMA for paving roads in mild regions. Its viscosity allows it to bind well with aggregates, creating a durable and flexible pavement layer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Specialized Projects<\/strong>: This grade of bitumen is also suitable for high-demand applications like\u00c2\u00a0<strong>airport runways<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0and\u00c2\u00a0<strong>high-traffic coastal roads<\/strong>, where a strong, durable binder is essential to withstand the wear and tear of constant traffic and exposure to moderate environmental conditions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Waterproofing and Asphalt Primers<\/strong>: Bitumen 60\/70\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s adhesive properties make it useful for waterproofing applications and as a primer for asphalt layers, providing an additional layer of protection against moisture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Road Construction<\/strong>: The primary use of Bitumen 60\/70 is in\u00c2\u00a0<strong>hot mix asphalt<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0for constructing\u00c2\u00a0<strong>base layers<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0and\u00c2\u00a0<strong>wearing courses<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0of roads, especially in regions with moderate temperatures. Its balance between hardness and flexibility makes it ideal for road surfaces that need to withstand traffic loads while remaining resistant to cracking or deformation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Emulsions and Cut-back Bitumen<\/strong>: Bitumen 60\/70 is also a key component in producing\u00c2\u00a0<strong>asphalt emulsions<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0and\u00c2\u00a0<strong>cut-back bitumen<\/strong>, which are used for road surface treatments, priming, and tack coats. These products require bitumen with high adhesive properties to bond well with aggregates and provide long-lasting road layers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Modified Bitumen<\/strong>: This grade is often used as a base for\u00c2\u00a0<strong>modified bitumen<\/strong>, where polymers are added to improve its performance in extreme weather conditions, making it suitable for high-stress applications like\u00c2\u00a0<strong>airport runways<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0or\u00c2\u00a0<strong>high-traffic highways<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Shipping and Logistic<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Transporting and storing Bitumen 60\/70 requires special precautions to maintain product quality and ensure safety. The transportation of bitumen is typically carried out using\u00c2\u00a0<strong>bitumen tankers, heated bulk containers, or drums<\/strong>. Heated tanks are essential for maintaining the fluidity of bitumen during transport, as it can solidify if cooled.<\/p>\n<p>For safe storage, Bitumen 60\/70 should be kept in\u00c2\u00a0<strong>insulated storage tanks<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0at temperatures ranging from\u00c2\u00a0<strong>150\u00c2\u00b0C to 180\u00c2\u00b0C<\/strong>. This ensures that the bitumen remains fluid and easy to work with. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s crucial to avoid exposing bitumen to\u00c2\u00a0<strong>water, snow, or cold environments<\/strong>, as these elements can degrade the product and reduce its effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Packing BITUMEN 60\/70 IN:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 MT JUMBO BAG WITH A STEEL CAGE AND PALLET<\/p>\n<p>1 MT JUMBO BAG WITHOUT CAGE AND PALLET<\/p>\n<p>1300 KG JUMBO BAG<\/p>\n<p>180 KG NEW STEEL DRUM<\/p>\n<p>BULK IN TANKER<\/p>\n<p>BULK IN FLEXI BAG<\/p>\n<p>BULK IN VESSEL<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>Specification<\/strong><\/h4>\n<table id=\"tablepress-6070-no-2\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-6070\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<th class=\"column-1\">BITUMEN 60\/70<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-2\">TEST METHOD<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-3\">UNIT<\/th>\n<th class=\"column-4\">SPECIFICATION<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Specific gravity @ 25\/25 \u00c2\u00b0c<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">ASTM D70<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">Kg\/cm\u00c2\u00b3<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">1.01-1.06<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Penetration @ 25\u00c2\u00b0c<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">ASTM D5<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">mm\/10<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">60-70<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Softening point \u00c2\u00b0c<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">ASTM D36<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">\u00c2\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">49-56<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Ductility @ 25\u00c2\u00b0c<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">ASTM D113<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">cm<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">100 min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Loss on heating(wt) %<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">ASTM D6<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">wt %<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">0.2 max<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Drop in Penetration after heating %<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">ASTM D5-D6<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">%<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">20 max<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Flashpoint \u00c2\u00b0c<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">ASTM D92<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">\u00c2\u00b0C<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">232 min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-9 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Solubility is CS2(wt) %<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">ASTM D4<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">wt %<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">99 max<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-10 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\">Spot test<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">A.a.s.h.o.t102<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-3\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<td class=\"column-4\">Negative<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Bitumen 60\/70, a standard penetration<br \/>\ngrade, is highly valued for road construction<br \/>\nand high-quality asphalt pavements.
