Bitumen price solution and problem
Bitumen 60/70 should be made by blown vacuum bottom and remove the light hydrocarbon and make it hard until penetration between 60 to 70. It is standard bitumen production procedure and bitumen price made in this way is higher than other processes.
Some factories importing vacuum resin instead of vacuum bottom and blending in Iran. Vacuum resin has the very high smell and very high viscosity and creates a lot of problem for bitumen buyers at the destination.
Some companies selling low-quality bitumen under name of Jey and Pasargad which is two famous brand in Iran and they submit custom paperwork that the origin of bitumen is Jey or Pasargad but it is cheating.
Jey Bitumen and Pasargad bitumen refineries are responsible!
Jey and Pasargad normally selling the export license of bitumen and under this license many companies selling low-quality bitumen.
The best way to get real bitumen with competitive price is buying from the reputable company who work in this business for a long time and ask them SGS quality certificate for Viscosity @ 60 centigrade. It will protect you against Vacuum resin and blending of low-quality material.
