Description of Oxidized Bitumen 95/25
Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by Blowing Grade 60/70 bitumen by hot air.
Blown Asphalt 95/25 is the semi-solid oxidized grade of pure petroleum bitumen categorized in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is normally used for different purposes in the construction business. The softening point value measured by 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.

How is the 95/25 oxidized bitumen blowing process performed?
The production involves a bitumen blowing process, where oxidation, dehydrogenation, and polymerization occur simultaneously. The oxygen in hot air reacts with the bitumen, forming hydroxide, carbon, acid, and ester groups that enhance its physical and chemical properties.
Application of Blown Asphalt 95/25
Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 has a very wide range of applications in all industries like production of chemicals, fuel oils, paints, lacquers, varnishes, paper-pulp-board, textile industry, road construction, pavement, crack filling and sealing, civil construction, roofings, and general construction.
This is a versatile material applied in building sealing and insulation, as an adhesive, and as an additive to building materials. It acts as a dust-binder and also as a material for impregnating and insulating and also as a key component in the production process of rubber and plastic products.
Bitumen 95/25 is extensively utilized in the protection of corrosion in metals and paving with asphalt varnishes, and it has a very high application in public works lining. It is utilized as an adhesive in electric laminates and as a binder for artificial grass. It has extensive use in waterproofing, coating of pipes to prevent corrosion, Portland cement pavement, hydraulic constructions, manufacture of paints, caulks, mastics, and damp proofing. Bitumen 95/25 is especially vital in the manufacture of insulation and isolation membranes as well.
Moreover, blown asphalt is equally highly valued in the automotive undercoating industry. Undercoating products made from bitumen possess better waterproofing, dust resistance, and noise insulation properties, hence effectively protecting automobile surfaces from harsh environmental conditions. Due to this feature, it is the preferred substance for enhancing durability and lifespan of auto products.
Storage and Handling of Bitumen 95/25
Oxidized Asphalt 95/25 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. Please refer to MSDS for more information.
Health & Safety of Oxidized Asphalt 95/25
Oxidized asphalt 95/25 should be handled with proper safety measures to prevent health hazards and workplace risks. It must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from open flames and heat sources to avoid fire hazards. When heated for application, controlled temperatures should be maintained to prevent overheating and the release of toxic fumes, which can cause respiratory irritation. Direct skin contact should be avoided, as hot asphalt can cause severe burns, and prolonged exposure may lead to skin irritation or dermatitis. Workers should wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including heat-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing. In case of inhalation of fumes, affected individuals should move to fresh air, and medical attention should be sought if symptoms persist.

Why Select Oxidized Bitumen 95/25
FAQs
1. What is the suitable climate for Oxidized Bitumen 95/25?
Since the softening point is higher in Oxidized Bitumen 95/25, it is highly suitable for moderate to warm climates, as it does not readily get affected by increased temperatures. It retains its shape in higher temperatures and resists cracks at low temperatures, so a wide range of environmental conditions suits it.
2. What is the life span of Oxidized Bitumen 95/25, and what are the parameters that affect its durability?
The average life span of Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 is between 15 to 20 years. However, factors such as the quality of the bitumen, application method, climatic conditions, and resistance to chemicals and UV rays also determine its durability. Proper care and following standard methods during application can greatly increase the life span.
3. What determines the price of Oxidized Bitumen 95/25?
Some of the key factors affecting the price of Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 include the quality of raw materials used in production, the process of oxidation, and transportation costs, given that this product is heavy in weight and requires special packing. Moreover, market demand controls its price; where there is high demand for the product, its price fluctuates. Currency exchange rates also might affect the price in the international market. Products with specific certifications, features, or special formulations might be more expensive due to the value addition and regulatory compliance involved.
