Bitumen 35/50 – Premium Penetration Grade for Temperate Climates

Bitumen 35/50 is a high-quality penetration grade bitumen derived from the vacuum distillation of selected crude oils, followed by a controlled air-blowing process. With a penetration range of 35 to 50, this grade offers a balanced hardness and flexibility, making it ideal for road construction and asphalt applications in moderate climates.

Main Applications of Bitumen 35/50

• Asphalt paving for roads, highways, and airport runways
• Infrastructure projects in temperate regions
• Waterproofing and insulation in building construction
• Production of liquid bitumen and bitumen emulsions

Its moderate viscosity and good adhesion make it suitable for projects where flexibility and performance under varying temperatures are key.

Packaging Options

Available in various formats to meet global shipping and storage needs:

• New or reconditioned steel drums
• Eco-friendly poly bags and jumbo bags
• Bitutainers and bulk supply

All packaging is designed to be weatherproof and export-ready.
