Price of Bitumen in Namibia
The price of bitumen in Namibia is shaped by multiple factors, including global crude oil market fluctuations, shipping and freight charges to Southern African ports, vacuum bottom (VB) base material pricing, and the selected packaging type—such as steel drums, jumbo bags, or bulk containers.
Namibia’s predominantly arid to semi-arid climate—with intense heat, dry winds, and occasional coastal fogs, particularly in regions like Windhoek, Walvis Bay, and Swakopmund—requires bitumen grades that offer strong resistance to UV degradation, heat-related deformation, and surface cracking. Among the available options, bitumen 60/70 is the most widely used and functions as the pricing benchmark. Its proven balance between durability and cost-effectiveness makes it the go-to grade for most infrastructure and road construction projects across the country.

How to Choose the Right Bitumen in Namibia
Choosing the right bitumen grade in Namibia is crucial for ensuring road durability and performance across the country’s diverse climate zones. Coastal cities like Walvis Bay and Swakopmund experience cooler temperatures and foggy conditions, while inland areas such as Windhoek and the Namib Desert face intense heat, low humidity, and wide temperature fluctuations between day and night.
These varying environmental factors demand bitumen that resists heat-induced deformation, oxidation, and cracking over time. Stiffer grades are often needed for high-temperature inland regions, while more flexible grades may be suitable for coastal or shaded areas. Selecting the appropriate bitumen ensures long-term pavement resilience, reduced maintenance, and optimal performance across Namibia’s growing road network and extreme environmental conditions.
Bitumen Penetration in Namibia
Namibia’s diverse climate—ranging from hot inland deserts to cooler coastal zones—demands careful selection of bitumen penetration grades to ensure road durability, resistance to thermal stress, and long service life under varying traffic conditions.
- Bitumen 60/70
Widely used for national highways and regional roads, especially in central areas like Windhoek. Its balance of stiffness and flexibility suits Namibia’s hot daytime temperatures and cooler nights. - Bitumen 80/100
Preferred in cooler coastal regions such as Walvis Bay and Swakopmund, where flexibility is needed to accommodate lower traffic loads and mild temperature changes. - Bitumen 40/50
Ideal for heavy-duty roads and industrial areas exposed to intense heat and vehicle loads, particularly in desert regions like the Namib and Kalahari. - Bitumen 85/100
Utilized for internal or low-traffic roads in temperate regions, offering added flexibility where pavement movement or minor settlement is expected.
Performance Grade (PG) Bitumen in Namibia
PG bitumen is increasingly adopted in Namibia’s infrastructure projects where resilience against extreme temperature fluctuations and heavy loads is essential. Grades are selected to match local climate conditions and anticipated traffic stress.
- PG 76-10
Used in high-temperature zones such as inland desert highways, providing excellent rutting resistance and thermal stability. - PG 70-10
Applied in areas experiencing prolonged heat, such as southern Namibia, ensuring surface integrity and reducing softening under load. - PG 76-22
Ideal for areas with large diurnal temperature swings, helping prevent fatigue cracking and extend pavement life. - PG 64-22
Chosen for moderately trafficked roads in regions with balanced climate conditions, offering cost-effective performance.
Oxidized Bitumen in Namibia
Namibia’s construction and industrial sectors rely on oxidized bitumen for applications requiring water resistance, heat durability, and long-term protection.
- Oxidized Bitumen 115/15
Commonly used in waterproofing and insulation systems for buildings and facilities exposed to high heat, particularly in desert or industrial zones. - Oxidized Bitumen 90/15
Utilized in general construction works such as roofing, tank lining, pipe coating, and expansion joints—especially where exposure to thermal cycling and moisture is a concern.
