What is High-Quality Oxidized Bitumen 150/5?
High-quality oxidized bitumen 150/5 is derived from petroleum bitumen and produced by blowing bitumen 60/70 with hot air. This process creates a hard and brittle material that is ideal for industrial applications. Moreover, it is classified under polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and is a semi-solid grade commonly used in the construction industry.
To utilize oxidized bitumen 150/5, it must be heated to double its softening point (200–300°C) to achieve proper flow and viscosity. In addition, circulating hot oil within an insulated jacket ensures even heating while preserving the bitumen’s quality. Therefore, the production process involves controlled heating and blowing penetration-grade bitumen with hot air, effectively achieving the desired specifications.
At Gold Bitumen, we supply high-quality oxidized bitumen 150/5 in various grades defined by their softening points and penetration ranges. For instance, the designation “150/5” indicates a softening point of 150°C and a penetration of 5 desi-millimeters. Furthermore, all our products meet ASTM standards, ensuring the highest quality for industrial applications.
Uses of Oxidized Bitumen 150/5
Oxidized bitumen 150/5 has diverse applications, including:

Application of High-Quality Oxidized Bitumen 150/5
Before you use high-quality oxidized bitumen 150/5, ensure that the surfaces are dry, clean, and free of loose particles, curing products, irregularities, and slurry. Unprepared surfaces can reduce adhesion and effectiveness. To achieve optimal results, proper surface preparation is essential.
Packing of Oxidized Bitumen 150/5
Gold Bitumen produces blown asphalt 150/5 using penetration-grade bitumen, which is blown with hot air in a controlled process to meet desired specifications. This product is available in various packaging options, including kraft bags, meltable plastic bags, drums, and bulk containers. Each grade of oxidized bitumen is defined by two numbers, indicating the softening point and penetration range. For example, grade 150/5 signifies a softening point of 150°C and a penetration of 5 desi-millimeters. Furthermore, all our products comply with ASTM standards.
Storage and Handling of Oxidized Bitumen 150/5
Oxidized bitumen 150/5 has a shelf life of up to 10 years, even with multiple heating and cooling cycles, as long as proper storage conditions are maintained. Refer to the MSDS for detailed handling instructions. To preserve its quality and properties, store the bitumen under shelter, away from rain and direct sunlight.
