In the realm of construction and infrastructure development, penetration bitumen stands as an essential component that binds the elements together. Among its various grades, the 85/100 penetration bitumen grade holds a significant position. Global Synergy Exports, a pioneering name in the industry, plays a pivotal role in distributing this indispensable material to global markets.
Penetration bitumen, often referred to as asphalt, is a sticky, black, and highly viscous material derived from crude oil. It is classified into various grades based on its consistency and penetration values. The 85/100 penetration bitumen grade signifies its viscosity and consistency at specific temperatures. This grade strikes a balance between hardness and flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
