🔬 What Makes Bitumen 60/70 So Universally Preferred?

Bitumen 60/70 refers to penetration-grade bitumen with a needle penetration value between 60 and 70 (0.1 mm) at 25°C. This sweet spot delivers the ideal balance:

  • Medium hardness – tough enough for heavy traffic, flexible enough to resist thermal cracking
  • Excellent adhesion to aggregates in hot-mix asphalt (HMA)
  • Proven performance in moderate to warm climates (20°C to 40°C ambient)
  • Cost-effective compared to polymer-modified alternatives — without sacrificing quality

That’s why it’s specified in national road standards across India, Nigeria, Turkey, Pakistan, the GCC, and beyond.
