Introduction
As a trusted supplier of Bitumen 200/300, Bitukim delivers high-quality penetration-grade bitumen designed to meet the most demanding specifications for road construction, asphalt production, and industrial applications. Bitumen 200/300 is a soft penetration-grade bitumen with a penetration value between 200 to 300 (0.1 mm) at 25°C, making it ideal for colder climates, surface treatments, and flexible pavement designs.
Backed by international standards and a commitment to quality, Bitukim ensures timely delivery, consistent product performance, and complete client satisfaction across global markets.
What is Bitumen Penetration Grade 200/300?
Bitumen 200/300 is a refined petroleum product with high penetration depth, indicating a soft and flexible bitumen grade. This type of bitumen is typically used where resistance to thermal cracking and flexibility under low temperatures is required.
The numbers 200/300 refer to the penetration range, which measures how deep a standard needle penetrates the bitumen sample under specified conditions. The higher the penetration number, the softer the bitumen.
This grade complies with ASTM D5 and other international paving standards, ensuring it is suitable for a variety of road and industrial applications.
Key Properties of Bitumen 200/300
Understanding the physical and chemical characteristics of Bitumen 200/300 is crucial for engineers and project planners:
Penetration Value (200–300)
Provides excellent flexibility, particularly suited for regions with low ambient temperatures or where flexible pavements are needed.
Viscosity
Moderate viscosity ensures proper flow and mixing with aggregates, resulting in uniform and durable asphalt mixes.
Softening Point
The relatively low softening point enhances thermoplastic behavior, allowing the bitumen to soften and harden based on temperature variations without cracking.
Adhesion and Elasticity
Excellent adhesion to aggregates ensures road surface stability. Its elastic nature allows it to absorb minor stresses without deformation.
Applications and Uses of Bitumen 200/300
Bitumen Penetration Grade 200/300 is a versatile material used in a variety of construction and industrial sectors:
Road Construction
Ideal for asphalt pavement layers, especially in cold or temperate climates where flexibility and crack resistance are critical. It serves as a binder in hot mix asphalt (HMA) for highways, local roads, and runways.
Pavement Maintenance
Used in surface dressing, slurry seals, and chip seals, Bitumen 200/300 enhances surface texture, reduces water infiltration, and prolongs the life of aged pavements.
Industrial Applications
Used in the manufacture of roofing felts, protective coatings, waterproof membranes, and bituminous adhesives, thanks to its soft consistency and adhesive nature.
