BITUMEN 40/50 – High-Performance Paving Grade for Hot Climates

BITUMEN 40/50, manufactured by SEBCO, is a premium penetration-grade bitumen designed for asphalt production and road construction in tropical and hot climate regions. Produced by air-blowing high-quality vacuum residue from oil refineries, this grade offers a penetration range of 40–50 (1/10 mm) under standard testing conditions.

Key Applications of BITUMEN 40/50

  • Asphalt mix production using BITUMEN 40/50 for roads and highways
  • Base and surface layers in flexible pavements with BITUMEN 40/50
  • Airport runways, expressways, and urban roads in hot climates
  • Ideal for high-temperature regions and tropical environments

Thanks to its strong thermal stability and optimal consistency, BITUMEN 40/50 is commonly used in hot mix asphalt (HMA) for projects exposed to high traffic loads and intense heat.
