Specification And Performance of oxidized bitumen 90/10

Oxidized bitumen 90/10 is semi solid oxidized grade of pure petroleum bitumen categorized in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is normally used for different purposes in the construction business.It is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by oxidized asphalt 60/70 by hot air. The numbers manifest the midpoint of the material’s softening point and penetration degree accordingly. The softening point value is measured by the Ring and Ball method as determined by ASTM D36 regulations and standards. The penetration value is in 1/10 mm as determined by IP49 or ASTM- D5.

Applications of Blown Bitumen 90/10

Oxidized asphalt 90/10 uses in the chemical, fuel, lacquers, varnishes, paint paper-pulp-board, textile processing, road construction, pavement, civil works, roofing, construction industries; sealing and insulating buildings, adhesive, crack seal and repairmen, construction materials additive, dust-binding, insulating and impregnating agent, make rubber and plastic products. The asphalt R 90/10 products are for paving. also used in asphalt-based paints for corrosion protection of metals, in lining public works structures, adhesives in electrical laminates, base for synthetic turf; typical uses for oxidized bitumen 90/10 used also for water-proof application and corrosion resistance for pipe coating, Portland cement pavement, hydraulic applications, paint manufacturing, caulking, mastic, and damp proofing. Blown bitumen R 90/10 is using insulation and isolation bitumen membrane sheet. Also, Car undercoating Automobile industry is specially required for Blown Asphalt. Vehicle undercoating material is based on Bitumen. Bitumen provides excellent waterproof, dust proof and noise proof for automobile undercoating.
