Price of Bitumen in Ivory Coast

The price of bitumen in Coast is influenced by several key factors, including fluctuations in global crude oil prices, the cost of vacuum bottom (VB) feedstock, regional demand, and logistics-related expenses such as shipping fees to West African ports like Abidjan and San-Pédro. Additionally, the choice of packaging whether steel drums, jumbo bags, or bulk delivery affects the final cost to importers and contractors.

Cooast climate is characterized by a humid tropical environment along the coast and a drier savanna inland. The coastal regions, especially around Abidjan, face high rainfall, moisture, and salt-laden air, which place extra demands on pavement durability. As a result, bitumen grades must offer high resistance to moisture damage, rutting, and temperature variations. Bitumen 60/70 is the most commonly used grade in the country, valued for its versatility and ability to perform well under both urban traffic conditions and challenging environmental stress. This grade also serves as the main price reference for contractors and suppliers across Côte d’Ivoire’s expanding infrastructure sector.

Different Types of Bitumen that we Supply in Ivory Coast

We can supply different grades of bitumen in different ports in Coast . The available grades of bitumen include:

How to choose Right Bitumen ?

Choosing the correct bitumen grade in Coast is essential for building durable, climate-resilient roads across the country’s varied terrain. Coastal areas like Abidjan and San-Pédro experience high humidity, intense rainfall, and salt-laden air, while inland zones such as Bouaké and Korhogo face warmer, drier conditions and prolonged sun exposure.

These environmental challenges demand bitumen that can resist both water damage and thermal stress. Roads near the coast require flexible, moisture-resistant grades to prevent cracking and stripping, whereas inland routes benefit from stiffer grades to combat rutting and high-temperature softening. By selecting the right bitumen type, engineers and contractors can extend pavement life, reduce maintenance needs, and improve transport reliability throughout Côte d’Ivoire’s rapidly developing infrastructure network.

Bitumen Penetration in Coast

To withstand Côte d’Ivoire’s coastal rains and inland heat, penetration-grade bitumen must be chosen based on regional traffic demands and environmental stress.

• Bitumen 60/70
  The most commonly used grade, especially for national roads and highways around Abidjan and Yamoussoukro. It balances flexibility and stiffness, suitable for mixed climates and traffic levels.
• Bitumen 80/100
  Preferred for urban roads and residential zones, particularly in shaded or cooler environments with lighter traffic demands.
• Bitumen 40/50
  Best suited for industrial roads, cargo corridors, and hot inland zones like Korhogo, where high rigidity is needed to resist deformation under heavy loads and heat.
• Bitumen 85/100
  Used for low-traffic internal roads or community access routes where softer binders provide the flexibility to handle minor shifts or thermal movements.

Performance Grade (PG) Bitumen in Coast

With rising infrastructure standards, PG bitumen is gaining adoption in Côte d’Ivoire for its superior performance in challenging climates and load conditions.

• PG 70-10
  Suited for interior regions like Bouaké or Bondoukou, where prolonged sun exposure and warm temperatures demand high-temperature resistance.
• PG 76-10
  Ideal for coastal highways, ports, and transport corridors under constant heavy traffic and climate stress.
• PG 76-22
  Recommended for areas with wide daily temperature variations or key expressways requiring high resistance to cracking and fatigue.
• PG 64-22
  A cost-effective, reliable option for general road projects in stable climate zones, offering good flexibility and resistance for routine conditions.
