What is Bitumen: Bitumen is a black or dark-colored (solid, semi-solid, viscous), amorphous, cementitious material that can be found in different forms, such us rock asphalt, natural bitumen, tar and bitumen derived from oil, which is referred to as petroleum bitumen. Penetration Grade Bitumen is commonly used in road surfacing, and some industrial applications. Additional processing yields other grades of bitumen products and their application

BITUMEN GRADE 60/70:

Bitumen Penetration Grade 60/70 is a standard penetration grade Bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in the spraying and chip applications.

This grade we supply from our storage tank in MAF in bulk by road tankers with 40Mt each in 120-150 degree Celsius temperature

 

CUTBACK BITUMEN:

Cutback Bitumen ( Liquid  Bitumen ) is Bitumen that is dissolved in a solvent . Typical solvents include Naptha, gasoline and kerosene, white spirit etc. The type of solvent controls the curing time  while the amount determines  the viscosity of the Cutback Bitumen.

 

Cutbacks are divided into two classifications, Rapid-Curing (RC) and Medium-Curing (MC) depending on the solvent used. They are further defined by a number which indicates the minimum kinematic viscosity (fluidity) of the cutback.

MC-70 MEDIUM-CURING (MC):

This grade we supply from other plant terminals by Bulk or Steel drum as per the customer requirement. In near future supply would be from MAF

RC-250 RAPID-CURING (RC):

This grade we supply from other plant terminals by Bulk or Steel drum as per the customer requirement. In near future supply would be from MAF
