Bitumen 100/150 – Properties, Applications, and Benefits
Bitumen 100/150 is a versatile penetration grade bitumen produced through the vacuum aeration process in refineries. The designation "100/150" indicates its penetration value, a measure of its softness, falling between 100 and 150 tenths of a millimeter under standard test conditions. This medium-soft consistency makes it particularly well-suited for mild climates.
