Bitumen 90/15
Bitumen 90/15 is a specialized grade of oxidized bitumen renowned for its exceptional hardness, durability, and thermal stability. With a softening point of approximately 90°C and a penetration value of 15 dmm (tenths of a millimeter), this bitumen is specifically designed to deliver outstanding performance in industrial applications where materials must endure high temperatures and challenging conditions. Its semi-solid consistency, combined with strong adhesive properties, ensures reliable bonding and superior resistance to moisture, chemicals, and physical wear, making it an ideal solution for projects requiring long-term durability and resilience.
This versatile bitumen grade is widely employed in the manufacturing of roofing felt, waterproofing membranes, and anti-corrosion pipe coatings, where its ability to withstand extreme weather and temperature fluctuations provides unmatched protection. Additionally, it is a key material in producing adhesives, industrial flooring, and other construction components that demand rigidity and strength under stress. The high softening point enables Bitumen 90/15 to maintain its structural integrity in hot climates or high-stress environments, while the low penetration value offers enhanced stability and hardness, ensuring consistent performance over time.
Produced through an advanced oxidation process, Bitumen 90/15 meets stringent international quality standards, guaranteeing uniformity, reliability, and efficiency across its applications. Its combination of thermal stability, chemical resistance, and long-lasting performance makes it a trusted choice for industrial and construction projects that demand superior material properties. Whether for waterproofing, protective coatings, or structural applications, Bitumen 90/15 delivers a cost-effective and high-performing solution for industries seeking durability and reliability in challenging environments.
