Bitumen 85/100 is also one the most popular bitumen grades for industrial usages, road construction and other projects.
The bitumen is provided during the process of oxidation of vacuum bottom in bitumen production units, Due to its relatively low air blowing and penetration, is used in cold areas. Below is the product's specification table which will be documented and certified by SGS or any third party inspection company the client wishes
