Definition of Bitumen 200/300
This Penetration grade of Bitumen 200/300 is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses. Penetration Grade Bitumen is a standard bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen essential for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties, and it’s very important once it bounds the aggregates and creates a unique cohesion and stability to the bituminous mix.

Application of Bitumen Grade 200/300
This grade of bitumen is also mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt. also, Bitumen is suitable for road construction and repair for asphalt pavements with superior properties. Bitumen is used for hot mixed asphalt because of the properties of very strong viscosity compared to other grades. Also used in specialized applications like airport runways and also in very heavy traffic volume roads in coastal cities in the country.
Guaranty of Bitumen 200/300
Quality of bitumen penetration grade with the arrangement of the international inspector to check the quality and quantity of the bitumen penetration grade during the loading to the vessel and control the production by QC by batch test report before shipping.
Packing of Bitumen 200/300
Bitumen’s packaging is a real concern especially if it’s meant to be exported, the better and safer packaging, guarantees the better delivery of the cargo. There are several different ways to package the bitumen which can vary depending on the tonnage, type, and grade of the bitumen- as mentioned before, different grades of bitumen have different levels of stiffness and viscosity- so the grade also plays an important role in choosing a suitable packaging. Bitumen grade 200/300 is commonly packed in new steel drums, 150, 180 & 220 Kg barrels and Jumbo Bags or 300 Kg Bitubag.
