Description
Mozambique, with its growing infrastructure and development activities, requires good quality bitumen for its various applications. As a trusted Mozambique Bitumen Supplier, we have different grades of bitumen like 60/70, 80/100, and 40/50, each being utilized for specific climatic and industrial purposes.
Bitumen Grades and Applications
Bitumen 60/70
This penetration-grade bitumen is highly used in road construction and asphalt paving. It possesses good adhesion and durability, suitable for Mozambique’s hot tropical climate, with guaranteed long-lasting roads that can withstand heavy traffic loads and scorching heat.
Bitumen 80/100
This less rigid form of bitumen is most suitable for cold mix applications and road maintenance. Due to Mozambique’s intermittent heavy rain and humidity, 80/100 bitumen is also used for low-traffic roads to enhance flexibility and resist cracking.
Bitumen 40/50
With a higher consistency, this grade is best suited for high-stress roads and heavy-duty applications. It is used in industrial paving and extreme temperature zones, providing higher stability and load-carrying capacity.
Waterproofing Applications of Bitumen in Mozambique
Other than road construction, bitumen finds wide use in waterproofing. Mozambique’s coastal location and humidity necessitate waterproofing for buildings, bridges, and underground facilities. Bitumen membranes and coatings function effectively to protect infrastructure from water entry, increasing lifespan and integrity. Main applications are:
Waterproofing of roofs and foundations
Bridge deck sealing
Waterproofing tunnels and basements
Damp-proofing of houses and commercial buildings
Main Ports in Mozambique for Supply of Bitumen
- Port of Maputo
- Port of Beira
- Port of Nacala
- Port of Pemba
Price of Bitumen in Mozambique
The price of bitumen in Mozambique is influenced by several key factors, including fluctuations in crude oil prices, ocean freight costs, the price of vacuum bottom (VB), and the type of packaging used. Among the different bitumen grades, the price of bitumen 60/70 serves as the benchmark, as it is the lowest and forms the base price for other grades. The price of cutback bitumen, on the other hand, depends on the cost of its primary raw materials.
Our payment Term
Our terms of payment are TT/30% in advance and balance after a copy of BL. This secures 30% of the payment in advance while the remaining balance is settled when a copy of the Bill of Lading has been availed, ensuring goods are in transit and well documented.
