Description of Bitumen 20/30
Bitumen 20/30 is a premium penetration grade widely used in road construction, repairs, and asphalt manufacturing. Its thermoplastic properties enable it to soften at high temperatures and harden at low temperatures, ensuring optimal performance in varying climates. This grade is suitable for producing durable asphalt pavements, hot mix asphalt for bases, and wearing courses. Additionally, it serves as a fundamental material for manufacturing other bituminous products.
Softening Point and Penetration of Bitumen 20/30
Gold Bitumen supplies pure petroleum-grade 20/30, derived from vacuum bottoms and manufactured under strict quality control. Its penetration range is between 20-30 desi-millimeters, with a softening point ranging from 55°C to 63°C. The grade’s thermoplastic nature and high viscosity make it a reliable choice for diverse applications.
Uses of Grade 20/30
- Road construction and repairs
- Manufacturing durable hot mix asphalt
- Creating wearing courses for long-lasting road infrastructure
