Bitumen Temperature and Its Properties

Bitumen's state depends on temperature. The relationship between temperature and bitumen stiffness varies based on the type of crude oil and its refining process.

50/70 Penetration Grade Bitumen

50/70 penetration grade bitumen is a semi-hard bitumen commonly used for asphalt pavement on roads. It is also utilized for producing asphalt coatings. This grade is mainly applied in producing hot mix asphalt for base layers and surface coating.

Bitumen Price

The 50/70 penetration grade bitumen offered by our company is pure petroleum bitumen produced by passing hot air through vacuum bottom raw material. Bitumen is derived from the residues of crude oil after decomposition and the removal of hydrocarbons.

Temperature Dependence

The condition of refinery bitumen depends on its temperature. The relationship between temperature and hardness of various types of bitumen depends on the type of crude oil, its refining method, and penetration grade. The penetration grade of 50/70 bitumen ranges between 5 to 7 millimeters.

Applications of 50/70 Bitumen

50/70 bitumen is primarily used for asphalt production and is especially suitable for producing hot mix asphalt for surface coatings. As the most common type of bitumen, it serves as a raw material for producing other bitumen products.
