How is bitumen cargo transported to Zimbabwe ?
Zimbabwe, being a landlocked country in southern Africa, does not have direct access to a seaport. As a result, bitumen must be transported through neighboring countries that have coastal access.
For this reason, bitumen shipments destined for Zimbabwe are first delivered to major ports such as Beira or Nacala port. From these ports, the cargo is then transported overland by road or rail into Zimbabwe.
Choose the Right Bitumen For Zimbabwe
Choosing the right bitumen grade is crucial for infrastructure durability in Zimbabwe’s varied climate. In Zimbabwe, roads must endure hot, dry conditions in lowland areas as well as seasonal heavy rains that can cause flooding and erosion. Temperature fluctuations between day and night also challenge pavement performance.

Bitumen Penetration in Zimbabwe
In Zimbabwe, bitumen penetration grades are selected based on the country’s diverse climate, from hot lowlands to cooler highland regions. Roads must be durable under temperature changes, seasonal heavy rains, and varying traffic loads.
- Bitumen 60/70:
Widely used for main roads and highways across Zimbabwe; suitable for mixed climates. - Bitumen 80/100:
Applied in cooler highland areas; ideal for lighter traffic and flexible pavements. - Bitumen 40/50:
Used for heavy-duty pavements, highways, and airports in hotter, heavy-traffic regions. - Bitumen 85/100:
Best for secondary roads and cold regions; offers high flexibility to resist cracking.
Oxidized Bitumen in Zimbabwe
Oxidized bitumen is used in Zimbabwe for industrial applications where higher temperature resistance and improved durability are needed. It’s commonly applied in waterproofing, roofing, and construction.
- Oxidized Bitumen 115/15:
Used for waterproofing and insulation in high-temperature environments; offers excellent heat resistance. - Oxidized Bitumen 90/15:
Applied in roofing, pipe coating, and construction projects; provides flexibility and durability in moderate to high temperatures.
Performance Grade Bitumen (PG) in Zimbabwe
In Zimbabwe, PG (Performance Grade) bitumen is increasingly used for high-quality road projects, especially highways and expressways. PG grades are selected based on the specific temperature conditions of each region, offering better resistance to rutting, cracking, and aging.
- PG 70-10:
Used in hot climate regions to resist rutting and deformation under high temperatures. - PG 76-10:
Ideal for very hot areas and heavy traffic roads; provides excellent high-temperature stability. - PG 76-22:
Applied in extreme temperature conditions; excellent for both very hot days and cold nights. - PG 64-22:
Suitable for moderate climates and standard traffic loads; balances flexibility and strength.
