Blown Bitumen
Blown Bitumen
Industrial Bitumen is a dark, petroleum residue modified by the oxidation process. Oxidized Bitumen is a type of bitumen that obtains from blowing air to the pure bitumen. It has a lower penetration grade and more softening point in comparison to pure bitumen. Its consistency ranges from highly viscous to solid. Hard bitumen under controlled temperature conditions is widely used as an anti-slip layer compound in the piling industry, for manufacture of roofing felts, the roofing and waterproofing industries, for sound dampening felts and under carriage sealant in the automotive industry, electric cable joint protection, joint filling compound, sealant compound and many others. Also used in sealing saw cuts and joints where expected movements are minimum. It is also used in the manufacturing of bituminous marine mastic for the oil & gas pipeline joints. The most popular grades are; grades 95/25, 85/25, 90/40, and 115/15. We are also capable of producing other grades of Blown Bitumen upon request by our customers.

Product Application
Application of Blown Bitumen 85/25 & 90 / 15
Blown bitumen 90/15 uses in the chemical, fuel, paints, lacquers, varnishes, paper-pulp-board, textile processing, road construction, pavement ,crack seal and repairmen, civil works, roofing, construction industries; sealing and insulating buildings, adhesive, construction materials additive, dustbinding, insulating and impregnating agent, make rubber and plastic products. Typically 85/25 used also for water-proof application and corrosion resistance for pipe coating.
Application of Blown Bitumen 115/15
Blown bitumen 115–/15 is using as raw material for bitumen coat, the chemical, fuel, paints, lacquers, varnishes, paper-pulp-board, textile processing, road construction, crack seal and repairmen, civil works, construction industries; pavement and impregnating agent, make rubber and plastic products.
Preparation
The blown bitumen should be heated double temperature against the softening point to be able to have flow and viscosity. To use blown bitumen surfaces must be dry, clean and free of loose particles, formwork, curing products, irregularities, slurry, etc.
