oxidized bitumen 75/25

Description of Oxidized Bitumen 75/25

Oxidized bitumen 75/25 is a semi-solid grade of pure petroleum bitumen manufactured by air-blowing through an asphalt flux. Special physical properties of its grade can be used in different applications in the construction business.

Oxidized Bitumen 75/25 is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by oxidized bitumen 60/70 by very hot air. The numbers relate to the midpoint of the material’s softening point and penetration respectively. The softening point value is the degrees Centigrade measured by the Ring and Ball method as determined by ASTM D36. The penetration value is 1/10 mm as determined by IP49 or ASTM D5.

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 Asphalt is a solid or semi-black solid material and gradually liquid when heated, oxidized asphalt is the predominant content of bitumen, asphalt, molten (oils), and aromatic resins. The oxidized asphalt or blown asphalt is produced in different softening points and penetration.

Uses of Oxidized Bitumen 75/25

his 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 90/40 include roofing, pipe coating, hydraulic applications, 75/25 is mainly used in paint manufacturing and coating in the hot areas.

Advantages of blown asphalt 75/25

  • Durability
  • Flexibility
  • Water Resistant
  • Chemical Stability

Storage and Handling of Oxidized Bitumen 75/25

Blown asphalt 75/25 is best up to 10 years from the day it was manufactured. It is suggested for the higher time of warehouse keeping to keep the bitumen under shelter and out of the rain and sunshine.

Health & Safety

Workers should wear protective masks, gloves, and goggles during application. The asphalt can be removed from equipment and tools with kerosene or gasoline.

Packing of Oxidized Bitumen 75/25

Blown Asphalt 75/25 in various packing, including bitumen 75/25 is available in 20 & 50 Kg Kraft Paper Bags 25 Kg Carton box & 150, 180, 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 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 also possible to load on pallet or without pallet for customer.
