High-Quality Bitumen 150/5
High-quality bitumen 150/5 is a crucial material widely used in various industrial applications. It is produced by blowing hot air through bitumen 60/70, creating a hard and durable substance suitable for construction and manufacturing purposes.
What Makes Bitumen 150/5 Unique?
This type of bitumen, also known as Bitumen 150/5, is classified as a semi-solid grade under polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. To use Grade150/5 effectively, it must be heated to 200–300°C for optimal flow and viscosity. At Gold Bitumen, we follow precise production processes, such as controlled heating and air blowing, to ensure compliance with ASTM standards.
Why Choose Bitumen 150/5 for Industrial Applications?
Our Grade 150/5 provides exceptional quality and performance, making it the preferred choice for various applications, including:
- Road construction and pavement repair
- Roofing and waterproofing
- Chemical production
- Adhesive manufacturing
- Corrosion protection for metals

At Gold Bitumen, we offer a wide range of bitumen grades, including bitumen 150/5, tailored to meet your industrial requirements. Learn more about our products on the bitumen grades page, or contact us today for customized solutions that perfectly match your project needs.
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.
