FAQ
Here are the most common questions and answers about Bitumen 95/25:
A1: Bitumen 95/25 is a semi-hard oxidized bitumen with a penetration value of around 25 (0.1 mm) and a softening point of about 95 °C. Its balance of hardness and flexibility makes it ideal for industrial uses requiring high thermal stability.
A2: It is widely used in roofing membranes, waterproofing systems, pipe coatings, road construction sealants, and in producing industrial adhesives and anti-corrosion products.
A3: The bitumen should be heated to approximately 180–200 °C for proper application. Overheating must be avoided to prevent oxidation or thermal degradation.
A4: Standard packaging includes 200 L steel drums, 25 kg kraft/meltable bags, and bulk delivery in bitutainers or tankers. Customized packaging can also be arranged depending on project needs.
A5: Yes. It is manufactured and tested according to ASTM and EN standards. Certificates of Analysis (COA), Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and third-party inspection reports (SGS, GeoChem) are available upon request.
