oxidized bitumen 90/10

Description of Oxidized Bitumen 90/10

Oxidized Bitumen 90/10 is an oxidized Asphalt produced by oxidizing a selected petroleum asphalts without adding the catalyst. Oxidized Bitumen 90/40 has high softening point, high flash point and it is highly stable during melting. This kind of Blown Asphalt is mostly using in the Mediterranean and specially morocco market.

Blown Asphalt 90/10 is produced by the air-blowing of penetration grade bitumen. This is done at high temperatures, resulting in a material of a much higher penetration index. Oxidized Bitumen 90/10 is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by blowing bitumen 60/70 by very hot air.  In addition, the numbers relate to the midpoint of the material’s softening point and penetration respectively. The softening point value measured by the Ring and Ball method as determined by ASTM D36. Also, the penetration value is in 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.

Uses of Oxidized Bitumen 90/10

Bitumen 90/10 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 90/10 include roofing, pipe coating, Portland cement pavement, hydraulic applications, paint manufacturing.

Storage and handling of Oxidized Bitumen 90/10

Blown Asphalt 90/10 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 sun shine.

Health & safety of blown asphalt 90/10

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 90/10

Blown Asphalt 90/10  in various packing, including Bitumen 90/10 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 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.
