Penetration Bitumen 85/100


Introduction

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.

Characteristics and Advantages
  • Optimal Consistency: The 85/100 grade offers a balanced consistency, allowing it to maintain its shape and structure while also accommodating minor movement and deformation.
  • Excellent Adhesive Properties: This grade adheres exceptionally well to various aggregates, forming a durable and robust binding agent that enhances the longevity of pavements and roads.
  • Versatility: Its versatile nature makes it suitable for different climate conditions and traffic loads, ensuring stability and durability over time.
  • Resistance to Aging: Penetration bitumen grade 85/100 displays remarkable resistance to the effects of weathering and aging, resulting in sustained performance even under challenging environmental conditions.
