Introduction
Bitumen supplier in Malaysia plays a crucial role in supporting the country’s rapid infrastructure growth. Since it has enormous road construction activities, port expansion, and city development, the country’s demand for durable and high-performance bitumen is on a constant rise. At Bitukim, we are a reliable exporter and supplier of premium-grade bitumen such as 60/70, 80/100, and 40/50 to Malaysia. Our bitumen is produced in accordance with global standards of performance, weathering resistance, and long service life in tropical climate conditions.
Bitumen Grades Used Commonly in Malaysia
Bitumen 60/70
This is the most popular grade used in Malaysia due to its balance of hardness and flexibility. It performs well in hot and humid climates and is thus most appropriately used on highways, urban roads, and areas of high traffic volume. Bitumen 60/70 is highly resistant to rutting and deformation at high temperatures, a necessity in regions with high UV exposure and heavy rainfall.
Bitumen 80/100
Bitumen 80/100, softer than 60/70, is used in low to medium traffic roads, parking lots, and suburban roads. It functions well where flexibility is more crucial than hardness. Due to the tropical rain in Malaysia, this grade is also used in layered construction where drainage and base layer strength are considered.
Bitumen 40/50
This stiff grade bitumen is used in high-stress locations such as port terminals, airport runways, and expressways. In Malaysian logistics and industrial areas, where axle loads are high, bitumen 40/50 provides the requisite structural strength and long-term performance.
Uses of Bitumen in Malaysia
Other than road construction, bitumen plays a critical role in waterproofing due to Malaysia’s wet and humid climate. Bitumen is extensively used in:
Roof waterproofing systems in high-rise urban buildings
Industrial floor protection from chemical spills
Bridges and tunnels for water seepage prevention
Insulation for retaining walls and basements
Primary Malaysian Ports for Bitumen Imports
Malaysia is strategically located and has world-class ports that are ideal for importing bitumen in bulk. Primary import terminals include:
Port Klang (principal commercial port)
Tanjung Pelepas Port (Johor)
Penang Port (Northern Peninsula)
Kuantan Port (East Coast)
These ports provide convenient logistics for bitutainer, bulk, or drum-packed deliveries anywhere in the country.
Bitumen Pricing in Malaysia
Malaysian bitumen pricing is based on global crude oil prices, freight, and local demand for infrastructure material. Bitumen 60/70 remains the standard grade to price other bitumen types. Prices also vary based on packaging (new steel drums, jumbo bags, bulk in tankers).
Our Payment Terms
We offer flexible payment terms such as TT: 30% advance, balance against copy of BL. This offers buyer and seller security with goods already sent prior to final payment being made.
