Bitumen 85/25
Bitumen 85/25 is a specialized grade of oxidized bitumen, commonly used in industrial applications requiring a semi-solid, highly durable material with excellent adhesive and waterproofing properties. With a softening point of approximately 85°C and a penetration value of 25 dmm (tenths of a millimeter), this grade offers superior hardness and thermal stability, making it ideal for projects that demand resistance to high temperatures and prolonged exposure to environmental elements. It also demonstrates excellent resistance to both oxidation and aging, ensuring it maintains its performance over extended periods, even under harsh conditions.
Bitumen 85/25 is widely utilized in applications such as roofing felt production, waterproofing membranes, pipe coatings, insulation, and industrial flooring. Its resistance to deformation under load and its strong binding properties ensure long-lasting performance in challenging environments. Additionally, it provides excellent resistance to water and chemical exposure, making it a preferred choice for infrastructure requiring reliable and durable sealing solutions. Its ability to maintain its structural integrity even in extreme weather conditions further enhances its appeal for demanding industrial applications. Produced through an advanced oxidation process, Bitumen 85/25 meets stringent quality standards, ensuring consistency and reliability across diverse industrial uses. Its versatility and robust characteristics make it an indispensable material for construction and industrial projects worldwide.
