Price of Bitumen in Benin
The price of bitumen in Benin is shaped by multiple factors, including crude oil market trends, ocean freight rates, vacuum bottom (VB) prices, and the type of packaging selected.
Due to Benin’s warm and humid tropical climate, bitumen grades are chosen based on their ability to withstand high temperatures and seasonal rainfall. Among the available grades, bitumen 60/70 is commonly used and acts as the baseline for pricing, as it is the most widely applied and cost-effective option.

How to choose the Best Bitumen?
Choosing the right bitumen grade is crucial for infrastructure durability in such diverse climates. In Benin, roads must withstand both cooler highland temperatures and hotter lowland conditions, whereas in Luanda, constant high heat demands bitumen that can resist softening and deformation. A flexible, high-performance bitumen ensures longer-lasting, more resilient pavements across these challenging environments.
Bitumen Penetration in Benin
Given Benin’s tropical climate with high temperatures, humidity, and seasonal rains bitumen penetration grades are selected to provide durability and flexibility under heat and varying traffic volumes.
-
Bitumen 60/70
Frequently used for national roads and highways across Benin, where temperatures are high and traffic conditions vary. Its balanced properties make it suitable for general applications. -
Bitumen 80/100
Applied in areas of Benin with moderate traffic and where some flexibility is needed, such as secondary roads in coastal or urban zones. -
Bitumen 40/50
Chosen for heavy-duty pavements in industrial or high-traffic areas, especially where intense sun and heat require stiffer material. -
Bitumen 85/100
Suitable for lighter-traffic roads or zones requiring more flexibility, such as local access roads or internal networks in residential areas.
Performance Grade (PG) Bitumen in Benin
In Benin, PG bitumen is increasingly used in highway and infrastructure projects where road performance must endure both heat and seasonal rain. Grades are chosen based on regional climate conditions and loading requirements.
-
PG 70-10
Used in hot inland regions of Benin to minimize rutting and surface deformation due to high temperatures. -
PG 76-10
Applied on heavily trafficked routes and export corridors in Benin, where both heat and traffic stress demand enhanced performance. -
PG 76-22
Ideal for areas with significant temperature shifts between day and night, offering long-term flexibility and strength under extreme conditions. -
PG 64-22
Suitable for roads in moderate climate zones of Benin, balancing cost and performance for standard-use roadways.
Oxidized Bitumen in Benin
Oxidized bitumen is commonly used in Benin’s construction and industrial sectors, particularly where waterproofing, high heat resistance, and long-term durability are essential.
-
Oxidized Bitumen 115/15
Applied in high-temperature environments such as insulation and waterproofing systems in Benin’s industrial facilities. -
Oxidized Bitumen 90/15
Used in building projects across Benin, including roofing, pipe coatings, and joint sealing—especially where temperature variations and humidity are concerns.
