Introduction
Thailand enjoys a tropical monsoon climate and requires top quality bitumen to construct durable roads and waterproof. Being a leading Bitumen Supplier in Thailand we provide Bitumen 60/70, 80/100, and 40/50, which are widely utilized in various applications across the nation.
Bitumen Types and Uses in Thailand
Bitumen 60/70 is usually used in road construction and road asphalts for highways in Thailand. Because of the country’s hot and humid climate, this type provides excellent adhesion and durability, which are ideal for heavily used roads. It provides long-lasting performance and resistance to deformation, hence being a favorite for urban road networks, major highways in Bangkok, and other regions with high temperatures.
Bitumen 80/100 is a softer grade and is typically used for lightly trafficked roads, rural roads, and maintenance. With a higher penetration rate, it becomes elastic in Thailand’s changing temperatures, preventing cracks and surface damage. It is commonly applied to residential and commercial paving, where average strength and elasticity are needed.
Bitumen 40/50 is a stronger grade utilized in high-load roads, airports, and industrial states. Its increased resistance to deformation makes it ideal for use on highways and heavy vehicle transport roads with constant traffic of heavy trucks. It is also highly essential in waterproofing, giving roads and infrastructure facilities the strength to endure Thailand’s heavy rains and humid conditions.
Oxidized bitumen 115/15 is a robust, durable product widely used in waterproofing, roofing, and road construction. Consistent manufacturers and suppliers in Thailand offer guaranteed supply with international standards of quality. It is available in various packaging forms to cater to industrial needs.
Why is Bitumen Important for Road Waterproofing in Thailand?
Bitumen is essential for road waterproofing in Thailand due to the country’s heavy rainfall and high humidity, which can severely damage unprotected roads. High-quality bitumen provides a reliable waterproof barrier, preventing water infiltration that leads to cracks and deterioration.
This not only extends the lifespan of the road surface but also enhances skid resistance, improving safety for vehicles. As a result, bitumen-based waterproofing systems are widely used to ensure the durability and stability of Thailand’s highways and urban roads.
Principal Seaports for Bitumen Supply in Thailand
We ensure prompt and efficient delivery to Thailand’s principal seaports, which are:
Laem Chabang Port : The largest port, for the principal bulk cargo and construction materials.
Bangkok Port : A principal hub for infrastructure materials in the capital city.
Map Ta Phut Port : For industrial and commercial deliveries.
Songkhla Port : Serves the south region, for distribution throughout the whole country.
With our strong logistics infrastructure, we can supply superior quality bitumen throughout Thailand.
Price of Bitumen in Thailand
The price of bitumen in Thailand 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.
