Oxidized Bitumen150/5

Oxidized Bitumen 150/5 Description

Oxidized Bitumen 150/5 produced in Bitumen Factory is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by blowing bitumen 60/70 by hot air. This type of bitumen is hard and breakable. Oxidized bitumen is the semi-solid oxidized grade of petroleum bitumen categorized in hydrocarbons is normally used for different purposes in the construction industries.

quality of Oxidized Bitumen 150/5 with the arrangement of the international inspector to check quality and quantity of the during the loading to the vessel and control the production by QC by batch test report before shipping.

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.

Oxidized Bitumen 150/5 – Ideal for Hot Climate Industries

We are proud of the quality we will be offering at ZUMRUT KIMYA INTERNATIONAL when it comes to Oxidized Bitumen 150/5. With its softening point at about 150°C, this product becomes ideal in construction and industrial projects under extreme heat conditions.

Product Process for Oxidized Bitumen 150/5

Oxidized Bitumen 150/5 is produced by heating standard bitumen to 220–230°C to reduce viscosity. Once fluid, hot air is blown through it to trigger a controlled oxidation process. This changes its molecular structure—making it harder, more heat- and cold-resistant, with a higher softening point and lower penetration.

The process increases the asphaltene-to-maltene ratio, enhancing product stability. After oxidation, the bitumen is rapidly cooled with water and packaged in barrels or other containers. The result is a durable product used in waterproofing, industrial coatings, and road construction.

Applications of Blown Bitumen 150/5

Blown Bitumen 150/5 is specifically designed for use in waterproofing and coating applications exposed to extremely hot climates. Thanks to its high softening point of approximately 150 °C, it maintains its structural integrity under intense heat and does not melt easily.

This grade of bitumen is widely utilized across multiple industries including:

• Waterproofing and roofing systems

• Pipe coating for industrial and infrastructure applications

• Construction and civil engineering projects (e.g., sealing, insulation, and crack repairs)

• Pavement and road maintenance

• Manufacturing of bitumen-based adhesives and sealants

• Electrical insulation laminates

• Dust-binding agents

• Paints and coatings, particularly for use in hot regions

• Synthetic turf base production

• Rubber and plastic compound manufacturing

• Textile processing and paper-pulp board treatment

Its chemical stability and resistance to heat make it ideal for use as a raw material in bituminous membrane sheets, isolation layers, and corrosion-resistant coatings for metal surfaces—especially in public works and heavy-duty industrial environments.

Blown Bitumen 150/5 is a preferred solution where high performance and durability are essential under high-temperature conditions.

Distinctions Between Oxidized Bitumen Grades 150/5 and 115/15

Oxidized bitumen grades 115/15 and 150/5 serve other purposes due to their varying physical properties, namely their softening points and degree of penetration. Grade 150/5, which has a fairly high softening point of approximately 150°C, is formulated for applications where utmost thermal resistance is required—such as in paving roads for tropical climates or industrial processing at high temperatures.

On the other hand, bitumen 115/15, when oxidized, is softer and more flexible at a comparatively lower melting point of around 115°C. Due to its high flexibility and pliability, it can be used for roofing, waterproofing, and coating applications where intermediate temperature resistance and material flexibility are required.

These functional differences determine their suitability in different industries to deliver maximum performance based on the needs of each project.
