FAQ
Here are the most common questions and answers about Bitumen 15/105:
Q1: What is Bitumen 15/105 and how is it different from regular penetration grades?A1: Bitumen 15/105 is an oxidized (blown) bitumen grade with low penetration (≈15) and a high softening point (≈105 °C), offering superior heat resistance versus conventional penetration grades like 60/70.
Q2: What are the typical applications for Bitumen 15/105?A2: It is commonly used in waterproofing membranes, roofing felts, industrial adhesives, anti-corrosion coatings, and in chemical/textile processes where high softening point and strong adhesion are required.
Q3: What is the recommended heating/application temperature?A3: For most applications, heat to about 210 °C. Avoid overheating to prevent thermal degradation; always follow safety guidelines and use temperature-controlled equipment.
Q4: What packaging options and minimum order quantities are available?A4: Standard options include 200 L drums, 25 kg kraft/meltable bags, and bulk/bitutainer. MOQs vary by packaging and destination; contact sales for current logistics options.
Q5: Does Bitumen 15/105 meet international standards and can you provide certificates?A5: Yes. Production and testing follow relevant ASTM methods (e.g., D5, D6, D36, D70, D92). Certificates of Analysis (COA) and MSDS are available on request.
