Bitumen and Their Applications in Brazil

Bitumen 60/70

Asphalt 60/70 is a penetration-grade bitumen with medium hardness used widely in the construction of roads and asphalt roads. In Brazil, where there are tropical and subtropical climate conditions with extreme rainfall and high temperatures, highways and city roads can be developed using bitumen 60/70 due to its higher viscosity and resistance against high-temperature deformation.

Bitumen 80/100

Bitumen 80/100 is a soft bitumen used mainly in less severe climates. It may be applied to roads with low traffic and surface dressing. It is widely used in Brazil in suburban and rural areas where there is a need for flexibility due to changes in temperature.

Bitumen 40/50

Bitumen 40/50 is a stronger variant that is used in places where heavy loading and harsh weather conditions are required. It is commonly used in Brazilian airport runways, bridges, and highways where high traffic of vehicles and heavy industrial loads must be sustained with high structural strength.

Waterproofing Applications of Bitumen in Brazil

Because of Brazil’s humid and rainy weather, bitumen is widely used in waterproofing processes to protect buildings from water damage. Bitumen-based waterproofing materials are widely applied in:

Roofing systems to exclude water.

Basement waterproofing to avoid foundation damage.

Concrete buildings and bridges to enhance longevity and durability.

Tunnels and underground structures to protect against water penetration.

Major Seaports in Brazil

Brazil has several major seaports that facilitate the import and export of bitumen, including:

Santos (largest and busiest port in Brazil)

Rio de Janeiro

Paranaguá

Itaqui

Suape

Price of Bitumen in Brazil

The price of bitumen in Brazil 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.
