Penetration Grade Bitumen 60/70 specification

Penetration grade bitumen 60/70 refers to a particular grade of bitumen, commonly known as asphalt cement, defined by its penetration value that falls between 60 and 70 tenths of a millimeter (6.0 to 7.0 millimeters). This value reflects the hardness of the bitumen and indicates its appropriateness for different uses in road construction and industrial purposes.

Penetration bitumen grade 60/70 is primarily employed in producing hot mix asphalt for both base layers and surface courses. Penetration bitumen grade 60/70 ranks among the most frequently used grades and serves as a fundamental ingredient for various other bituminous products.

This product possesses thermoplastic features, allowing it to become softer at elevated temperatures and harder at lower temperatures. This relationship between temperature and stickiness plays a crucial role in evaluating performance parameters and is influenced by the specific type of crude oil used and the method of refining it.

Bitumen 60/70 application

Penetration grade bitumen 60/70, with a permeability range of 6 to 7 mm, is classified as a type of heavy bitumen and is frequently utilized in road construction and repair activities.

This particular bitumen is the most commonly employed for producing asphalt, which is often used for surface applications. As previously stated, bitumen 60/70 is identified as a penetrating bitumen, typically applied in asphalt manufacturing and road construction projects that adhere to road-grade specifications.

The technique of application is determined by the particular needs of the project, which include the surface type, traffic intensity, and environmental factors.

Its durability against cracking, deformation, and weather exposure guarantees an extended lifespan and lower maintenance expenses. Penetration grade bitumen 60/70 is recognized for its ease of use and durability, making it especially suitable for moderate to cool climate conditions.

Bitumen 60/70 price and its cost-efficiency

The cost-effectiveness of penetration grade bitumen 60/70 is attributed to its versatility and minimal upkeep needs. Although the initial expense may be higher compared to other materials. Its long-lasting performance and reduced repair needs contribute to overall cost savings.

The price of the product fluctuates based on various elements, including the required material type and its quality. For further information about the pricing and application of bitumen 60/70, please contact our consultants at Kiapetro company.
