Bitumen 80/100 Penetration Grade

What Does Bitumen 80/100 Grade Mean?

Bitumen 80/100 grade means the penetration value of the bitumen falls between 80 and 100 (0.1 mm) at 25°C. This penetration range indicates a softer bitumen, commonly used in moderate to cold climates where flexibility is required.

Description of Bitumen 80/100 Penetration Grade

Bitumen 80/100 Penetration Grade is a standard penetration grade Bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses. Penetration Grade Bitumen supplied by RABIT (RAHA BITUMEN) Co. is petroleum grade bitumen, manufactured from fractional / vacuum distillation of crude oil. The Bitumen supplied by RABIT Trading Co. is produced from the vacuum residue (short residue) feedstock. Penetration Grade bitumens are specified by the penetration and softening point test. The designation is by penetration range only. The penetration grade bitumens have a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/ viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability and application temperatures of bitumen.

The Bitumen mode is dependent on temperature. The temperature-vs-stiffness relationship of bitumen is dependent on the type of crude oil and its refining method. Bitumen 80/100 penetration grade  is semi-hard penetration grade bitumen used as a paving grade bitumen which is suitable for road construction and repair. It is also used for the production of asphalt pavements with the below technical specification. This grade of bitumen is mainly used in the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses. Bitumen penetration 80/100 is one of the most used bitumen grades and it’s a basic material for all other bituminous products.

Bitumen 80/100 Diffrent Types of Packing

There are several different ways to package the bitumen which can vary depending on the tonnage, type, and grade of the bitumen- as mentioned before, different grades of bitumen have different levels of stiffness and viscosity- so the grade also plays an important role in choosing a suitable packaging.

Bitumen grade 80/100 is commonly packed in new steel drums, 150, 180 & 220 Kg barrels and Jumbo Bags.

•  1 MT Jumbo Bag with Steel Cage and Pallet- Loading 20 Jumbo Bag in 20ft Container= 20 Ton- The most common packaging for East of Asia and South America
• 180kg New Steel Drum– Loading 110Drum in 20ft Container= 19.8-20 Ton- The most common packaging for East of Asia and Africa Countries
• 150kg New Steel Drum– Loading 110Drum in 20ft Container= 16.5 Ton- The most common packaging for Bangladesh, Nepal- Indonesia
• Bitutainer– Loading 25 Ton Bulk Bitumen in Bitutainer- This type of packaging is not common due to the high cost of the Bitutainer and is often suitable for short distances where round-trip transportation is cost-effective.
• Bulk in Tanker Truck= Loading 24-25 Ton Bulk Bitumen in Tanker Truck- Suitable for neighboring countries
• Bulk in Bitumen Carrier (Bulk Vessel): Loading 2,000-40,000 Ton Bitumen in Bulk Vessel- Very convenient and suitable and cost-effective for customers who have tanks at the destination port.

What is the Dencity of Bitumen 80/100

Density is a core physical characteristic that expresses how much mass is contained in a given volume of a material. For bitumen, this property is especially important because it influences how the material behaves and performs in different uses. Density is usually reported in kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m³) or grams per cubic centimetre (g/cm³). For the widely used penetration grade bitumen 80/100, the density typically falls between about 1,000 and 1,050 kg/m³.

Guaranty & Safety of Bitumen Penetration 80/100

RABIT (RAHA BITUMEN) Company guaranty the quality of bitumen penetration grade 80/100 with the arrangement of the international inspectors to check quality and quantity of the bitumen penetration grade 80/100 during the loading to the vessel and controlling the production by QC by batch test report before shipping. RABIT Company guarantees the quality to meet with ASTM.
