Bitumen 100/120 is a soft penetration-grade bitumen designed for applications where flexibility and ease of application are crucial. With a penetration range of 100 to 120 dmm (tenths of a millimeter), it is among the softer grades of bitumen, making it particularly well-suited for use in colder climates or areas with lighter traffic conditions. This grade of bitumen is commonly used in the construction and maintenance of roads, pathways, and pavements, where its excellent binding properties ensure a cohesive mix with aggregates, resulting in smooth and durable surfaces.
The softer consistency of Bitumen 100/120 makes it highly versatile for industrial uses, including waterproofing, insulation, and manufacturing of protective coatings. Its elasticity helps accommodate temperature fluctuations without cracking, providing long-term durability. Additionally, its lower viscosity allows for easier handling, mixing, and application, ensuring efficiency in construction processes. Refined through advanced techniques to meet stringent international standards, Bitumen 100/120 delivers reliable performance, making it a preferred material for projects requiring cost-effective solutions with enhanced flexibility and resilience.
