Oxidized Bitumen 115/15

Description of Oxidized Bitumen 115/15

One of the methods used in the production of special bitumens is through oxidization of the residues of vacuum distillation, performed by blowing air under controlled, high-temperature conditions (230-260°C) for a set amount of time. As a result of the above process, the consistency of the bitumen and its associated properties undergo profound changes thus the oxidized bitumen is produced. Oxidized bitumen has a higher softening point than viscosity grade and penetration bitumen. Consequently, oxidized bitumen is less susceptible than penetration bitumen and viscosity bitumen to temperature changes. solid oxidized grade of pure petroleum bitumen categorized in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and blown bitumen normally used for different purposes in the construction business. The most oxidized bitumen usable grade is Bitumen 115/15 and 70% of our capacity is dedicated to this grade. Oxidized Bitumen 115/15 is a semi-solid oxidized grade of pure petroleum bitumen categorized in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and oxidized bitumen normally used for different purposes in the construction business. Our sales team is committed who understanding your requirements due to many years of experience in supplying bitumen products.

Blown bitumen grades are produced by passing air through the penetration grades. This process gives the bitumen more rubbery properties than its original formula and they are simply harder bitumen. Hard bitumen under controlled temperature conditions is widely used as an anti-slip layer compound in the piling industry, for manufacture of roofing felts, the roofing and waterproofing industries, for sound dampening felts and under carriage sealant in the automotive industry, electric cable joint protection, joint filling compound, sealant compound and many others. Also used in sealing saw cuts and joints where expected movements are minimum. It is also used in the manufacturing of bituminous marine mastic for the oil & gas pipeline joints.

ZUMRUT KIMYA co. is a bituminous product manufactured by the special process of NON-OXIDATION but MODIFICATION of VACUUM BOTTOMS at 230 C temperature, resulting in a material of a much higher penetration index.

Use of oxidized bitumen 115/15

This hard grade of Bitumen is mostly used in pipe coating material, paint, ink, and waterproofing and shingle factories. High thermal properties and viscosity plus boundary with other material is main specification of this bitumen.

Oxidized bitumen 115/15 is widely used as an anti-slip layer compound in the piling industry, for the manufacture of roofing felts, for sound dampening felts, and under carriage sealant in the automobile industry, joint filling compound, sealant compound and many others. uses for Blown Asphalt 115/15 include roofing, pipe coating, Portland cement pavement, hydraulic applications, paint manufacturing.

Applications of oxidized bitumen 115/15

This kind of Bitumen is suitable to be used in the chemical, raw material for bitumen coat, paper-pulp-board, textile processing, pavement, crack seal and repairmen, civil works, bitumen coat for piping, roofing, construction industries; sealing and insulating buildings, adhesive, construction materials additive, road construction, dust-binding, insulating and impregnating agent, isolation bitumen membrane sheet, make rubber and plastic products.
typical uses for bitumen 115/15 include roofing, pipe coating, hydraulic applications, 115/15 is mainly used in paint manufacturing and coating in hot area. Oxidized bitumen 115/15 should be heated double temperature against the softening point to be able to have flow and viscosity. To use bitumen 115/15 surfaces must be dry, clean, and free of loose particles, formwork, curing products, irregularities, slurry, etc.

Advantages of blown asphalt 115/15

  • Durability

  • Flexibility

  • Water-Resistant

  • Chemical Stability

Storage and Handling of  bitumen 115/15

Blown asphalt 115/15 is best up to 10 years from the day it was manufactured. It is suggested for higher time of warehouse keeping to keep the bitumen under shelter and out of the rain and sunshine.

Packing 

Blown Asphalt 115/15  in various packing, including bitumen 115/15 is available in 20 & 50 Kg Kraft Paper Bags 25 Kg Carton box & 200 Kg Steel Drums:

25kg carton box

25kg mold packing

It is most expensive packing since there is mold on and with same mold, we can ship out. The mold is carton and at destination you can remove the mold easily.

25Kg Polyamide bag

It is a heat resistance bag and filling directly in water to cool down fast. It is firstly use not possible to take out the Polyamide from the bitumen and then use.

25kg craft bag

Craft bag is recycle packing and inside is special material to prevent sticking the bitumen to bag. This grade is also possible to load on pallet or without pallet for customer.
