Bitumen 80/100 – Premium Grade for Reliable Road Construction
Bitumen 80/100 is one of the most reliable penetration-grade bitumen types used in road construction and industrial applications. It’s made by carefully refining high-quality crude oil. This process helps create a product that is strong, flexible, and dependable. Because of these traits, Bitumen 80/100 is ideal for use in warm climates like those in the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. At PetroGold, we proudly produce and export this bitumen grade from Iran to the global market. We make sure every b…
What Is Bitumen 80/100?
The name “80/100” tells us about the bitumen’s softness. It’s based on something called the “penetration value.” This value shows how far a small needle can go into the bitumen at a certain temperature. A higher number means the bitumen is softer. So, Bitumen 80/100 is more flexible than harder grades. This flexibility helps roads last longer in areas where temperatures change often.
Where Can You Use It?
Bitumen 80/100 is used in many types of projects:
City roads and rural streets
Highways and expressways
Runways at airports
Parking lots and service roads
Asphalt repairs and overlays
Waterproofing and industrial surfaces
Top Benefits of Bitumen 80/100
This grade offers big advantages to engineers and builders:
Strong and Flexible: It moves with changes in temperature, which helps prevent cracks.
Long-Lasting: It stands up to weather, sunlight, and traffic wear.
Good Grip: It sticks well to stones and other materials used in road building.
Easy to Work With: It melts and cools at normal construction temperatures.
Always Consistent: Every batch is tested for quality and performance.
Why Choose PetroGold?
We’re not just a supplier—we are a manufacturer. At PetroGold, we control the entire process from start to finish. We refine the bitumen ourselves and test each lot in our labs. We provide all the important documents like COA (Certificate of Analysis), MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), and shipping forms. You can trust the quality and traceability of every order.
How We Make It
Our production process begins with top-quality crude oil. This oil is heated and separated in large towers. The heavier parts are used to create bitumen. After that, we test and adjust the product to meet exact standards. PetroGold also uses eco-friendly methods like solar energy and emissions controls to reduce our environmental impact.
Our Packaging and Delivery Process
At PetroGold, we offer different packaging options to meet your needs:
New Steel Drums: Safe for international shipping and easy to stack.
Polybags: Great for medium-sized loads and lighter handling.
Jumbo Bags: Perfect for large projects and saving space.
Bulk Tankers: Best for big shipments straight to your site.
We deliver bitumen to more than 25 countries. From ports like Bandar Abbas to inland routes, our logistics team handles everything—customs forms, HS codes, and shipping papers. We make sure your cargo arrives safely and on time.
What Makes PetroGold Bitumen Different?
It’s all about value. Because we do everything in-house—from making the bitumen to packaging and testing—we can keep prices fair while offering top-tier quality. Our bitumen meets and often exceeds global standards. That means your roads last longer, cost less to repair, and give better performance under pressure.
We also offer bulk discounts and long-term supply deals. Whether you are a government contractor or a private builder, PetroGold is ready to support your project with cost-effective solutions.
Comparison: 80/100 vs 60/70
Bitumen 80/100 is softer and more elastic than
60/70. That makes it better for moderate traffic and changing weather. Bitumen 60/70, on the other hand, is tougher and better for highways or places with heavy loads.
Quick Look:
- 80/100: Softer, more flexible, easy to apply.
- 60/70: Harder, more durable under pressure.
