Introduction
Vietnam’s construction and infrastructure industry relies on high-quality bitumen for road construction, waterproofing, and other industrial applications. Being a trusted bitumen supplier in Vietnam, we provide high-grade bitumen, including 60/70, 80/100, and 40/50, to derive optimum performance in Vietnam’s tropical monsoon climate. These different grades of bitumen are ideal for various needs, from road surfacing, highway construction, and airport runways, to maximum durability and environmental resistance.
Bitumen Grades and Uses in Vietnam
Bitumen 60/70 is one of the most common grades in Vietnam, particularly used in the building of asphalt pavements and road surfacing. It is highly viscous and durable, making it extremely suitable for Vietnam’s humid climate, where there is high rainfall that can result in road damage. Bitumen 80/100, being a softer grade, is best used for maintenance works, rural roads, and low-traffic roads, allowing more flexibility for areas with narrower temperature variations. On the other hand, bitumen 40/50, being a harder bitumen, is commonly used for high-load carrying roads, highways, and airport runways. It has improved resistance to deformation under heavy traffic, and its use is ideally matched to Vietnam’s hot summers.
The Importance of Waterproofing Roads
In Vietnam, where rainfall and humidity are consistently high, waterproofing roads is essential to protect infrastructure. Excess moisture can penetrate asphalt surfaces, weakening the structure and leading to cracks, potholes, and faster deterioration. This not only shortens the lifespan of roads but also increases maintenance costs over time.
Using bitumen products to waterproof roads creates a protective barrier that resists water infiltration. This helps extend the life of the road, reduces the chances of damage, and ensures a smoother, safer experience for drivers and pedestrians across the country.
Major Seaports for Bitumen Delivery in Vietnam
In order to provide secure and effective transport and distribution, we deliver goods to major Vietnamese seaports, including:
- Hai Phong Port (North) : Key seaport for the supply of bitumen to Hanoi and northern areas.
- Da Nang Port (Central) : Preeminent hub for central Vietnam infrastructure work.
- Ho Chi Minh Port (South) : Primary point of entry for importing bitumen to Ho Chi Minh City and the Mekong Delta.
- Cai Mep Port : A Deepwater port suitable for bulk bitumen imports and large-volume construction needs.
Efficient Bitumen Supply Chain and Logistics
Our supply chain is designed for timely and efficient delivery, be it by bulk shipment for large projects, drummed bitumen for secure carriage, or jumbo bags for controlled release. We act in collaboration with top shipping lines and logistics providers to deliver timely and secure deliveries. Furthermore, our staff assist in customs clearance and inland haulage, rendering the procurement process trouble-free for our clients.
Price of Bitumen in Vietnam
The price of bitumen in Vietnam 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.
