Oxidized Bitumen 150/5

Applications of High-Quality Bitumen 150/5

To achieve the best results with high-quality Grade 150/5, ensure surfaces are properly prepared. They must be dry, clean, and free from loose particles, curing products, irregularities, and slurry. Proper surface preparation enhances adhesion and maximizes the effectiveness of the bitumen for industrial applications.

Packing Options for Grade150/5

Gold Bitumen produces bitumen 150/5 using penetration-grade bitumen, which undergoes a controlled blowing process with hot air to meet desired specifications. We offer flexible packaging solutions, including kraft bags, meltable plastic bags, drums, and bulk containers. Each grade is defined by its softening point and penetration range. For example, grade 150/5 reflects a softening point of 150°C and a penetration of 5 desi-millimeters. Additionally, all our products adhere to ASTM standards, ensuring the highest quality.

Storage and Handling Guidelines for Bitumen 150/5

Bitumen 150/5 boasts a shelf life of up to 10 years when stored under proper conditions. Even after multiple heating and cooling cycles, its quality remains intact. To maintain its properties, store the product under shelter, away from rain and direct sunlight. For detailed handling procedures, refer to the MSDS provided with the shipment.

Guarantee and Warranty

Gold Bitumen guarantees the quality and performance of Grade 150/5. Each shipment undergoes inspection by an international quality control team during loading, ensuring compliance with ASTM/EN 13304:2009 standards. Additionally, our in-house QC team tests every batch to verify its specifications, ensuring you receive products that meet the highest industry standards.

Oxidized Bitumen 150/5 — Frequently Asked Questions

What is Oxidized Bitumen 150/5 used for?

It is a very high softening point grade used for industrial roofing membranes, waterproofing systems, mastics, protective coatings, and pipe coating where heat resistance and low penetration are required.

What do “150” and “5” actually mean?

“150” refers to a typical softening point around 150 °C (ASTM D36), and “5” indicates a low penetration around 5 dmm at 25 °C (ASTM D5). Together, they describe a hard, heat-resistant blown bitumen.

Which standards does Grade 150/5 comply with?

Typical reference methods include ASTM D36 (softening point), ASTM D5 (penetration), ASTM D6 (loss on heating), ASTM D92 (flash point), ASTM D113 (ductility) and EN 13304:2009 for oxidized bitumen products.

What packaging options do you offer?

Meltable plastic bags (≈25 kg), kraft/carton bags on pallets, steel drums, and export bulk via bitutainers or tankers—selected based on project size and handling preferences.

How should 150/5 be stored and what is the shelf life?

Store under cover, away from rain and direct sunlight, on level pallets. Under proper conditions, shelf life can reach up to 10 years with quality retained across normal heating/cooling cycles.

What are the recommended handling and application temperatures?

Heat gradually with indirect heating and monitor viscosity. For hot-applied uses, follow the TDS/MSDS and avoid overheating to prevent thermal degradation and safety hazards.

Do you provide TDS/SDS and third-party inspection?

Yes. TDS and SDS are available, and third-party inspection before shipment can be arranged upon request to verify batch conformity.

Where is it produced and do you deliver to the UAE?

Manufactured in Iran by PetroGold and shipped globally, including rapid deliveries to the UAE via Bandar Abbas with export-ready documentation.
