Bitumen 50/70 – Ideal Paving Bitumen for Temperate Climates

SEBCO’s Penetration Grade Bitumen 50/70 is a high-quality petroleum bitumen, produced through the air-blowing process from vacuum bottom residue. This semi-hard grade features a penetration value of 50–70 dmm and a softening point between 46–54°C, making it ideal for paving applications and road construction in moderate climates.

Key Features

• Excellent Adhesion to aggregates
• Low Permeability, resistant to water penetration
• Thermoplastic Behavior – softens with heat, hardens when cooled
• Dynamic Softening Temperature: 35–45°C
• Friction Coefficient: 0.4–0.6

Best Use & Climate Suitability

Bitumen 50/70 is designed for paving in temperate regions. It balances softness and hardness, making it perfect for hot mix asphalt, road repairs, and general infrastructure works. Softer grades suit colder climates; harder ones are better for hotter areas.

Applications

• Road and highway paving
• Asphalt mix production
• Construction insulation
• Waterproofing systems
