Price of Bitumen in South Africa
The price of bitumen in South Africa is affected by several key factors, including global crude oil price trends, local refinery production levels, vacuum bottom (VB) costs, and transportation expenses—whether via road, rail, or shipping from international suppliers. Packaging type, such as bulk, drums, or jumbo bags, also plays a role in final pricing.
South Africa’s varied climate—from coastal humidity in cities like Durban and Cape Town to the dry interior regions of the Free State and Northern Cape—requires adaptable bitumen grades for optimal road performance. Bitumen 60/70 is the most widely used grade across the country and serves as the pricing benchmark. Its durability and balanced performance make it ideal for national highways, urban roads, and infrastructure projects under South Africa’s mixed environmental conditions.
Different Types of Bitumen that we Supply in ٍSouth Africa
We can supply different grades of bitumen in different ports in South Africa. The available grades of bitumen include:
| Bitumen Type | Bitumen Grades |
| Bitumen Penetration | 60/70, 80/100, 40/50, 85/100 |
| PG Bitumen | PG 70-10, PG 76-10, PG 76-22 |
| Cutback Bitumen | CSS-1, CSS-1h, SS-1, SS1h, CRS-1, CRS-2 |
| Bitumen Emulsion | RC-30, RC-70, MC-30, MC-70, MC-3000 |
| Oxidized Bitumen | 115/15, 90/15 |
Bitumen Penetration in South Africa
Bitumen grades 60/70 and 80/100 are popular choices in South Africa’s road construction sector, thanks to their adaptability to the region’s high temperatures. These penetration-grade bitumen provide superior durability and stability in hot climates, ensuring reliable performance for paving and infrastructure projects. Their widespread use across Senegal underscores their effectiveness in meeting the demands of the country’s warm weather conditions.
Performance Grade (PG) Bitumen in South Africa
In South Africa, Performance Grade (PG) bitumen is increasingly adopted for advanced infrastructure projects that demand high resistance to both temperature extremes and heavy traffic loads. The country’s diverse climates—from hot inland areas to cooler coastal regions—require PG bitumen grades tailored to specific environmental and mechanical conditions.
- PG 70-10
Used in hotter inland regions such as the Northern Cape and Limpopo to resist rutting and deformation under extreme pavement surface temperatures. - PG 76-10
Ideal for major highways, industrial zones, and heavy-traffic corridors, where both thermal and load stresses are consistently high. - PG 76-22
Applied in regions with significant day-night temperature fluctuations or elevated altitudes, such as Gauteng or Mpumalanga, to prevent fatigue cracking and maintain structural integrity. - PG 64-22
Suitable for coastal or temperate areas like the Western Cape and Eastern Cape, offering a cost-effective balance of durability and flexibility for standard road construction.
Oxidized Bitumen in South Africa
Oxidized bitumen is extensively used in South Africa’s industrial and construction sectors, particularly in environments where enhanced resistance to heat, moisture, and aging is essential. Given the country’s wide climatic range—from coastal humidity to inland heat—oxidized bitumen provides reliable performance in both structural and waterproofing applications.
- Oxidized Bitumen 115/15
Utilized in high-temperature environments for applications such as pipe coatings, industrial roofing, and waterproofing in regions like the Northern Cape and Gauteng where heat exposure is significant. - Oxidized Bitumen 90/15
Commonly used in general construction tasks including expansion joint sealing, flooring, and damp-proofing in buildings—especially in coastal provinces like KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape, where moisture resistance is crucial.
