Penetration grade bitumen 70/100

Penetration Grade Bitumen 60/70 is a widely specified paving bitumen used in standard road construction and asphalt production where structural stability and long-term performance are required.

Kiapetro acts as a supplier and exporter of bitumen 60/70 for international infrastructure projects, delivering consistent penetration values, verified quality, and export-ready packaging. This grade is commonly selected for highways, urban roads, and large-scale asphalt works in moderate climate conditions.

Penetration grade bitumen 70/100 specification

Penetration grade bitumen 70/100 is a certain grade of bitumen, commonly referred to as asphalt cement, defined by its penetration value that falls between 70 and 100 tenths of a millimeter (7.0 to 10.0 millimeters). This value reflects the stiffness of the bitumen and its appropriateness for different uses in road construction and industrial applications.

Bitumen 70/100 is a flexible bitumen grade that is frequently utilized in road building, maintenance, and numerous industrial uses. Its combination of strength and adaptability makes penetration grade bitumen 70/100 suitable for moderate climates, where it offers long-lasting and enduring pavements capable of managing both traffic loads and environmental changes.

Penetration grade bitumen is applied in the construction of single seals, double seals, and Cape seals, serving either as a tack coat or as a penetration spray. Additionally, it acts as the initial bitumen for the construction of various mixtures and polymer-modified binders.

Penetration grade bitumen 70/100 application

Penetration grade bitumen 70/100 is a commonly used grade of bitumen, particularly in the fields of road construction, maintenance, and various industrial uses. Its best combination of flexibility and strength renders it suitable for moderate climate conditions, ensuring the creation of durable and long-lasting pavements capable of resisting both traffic demands and environmental fluctuations.

Bitumen 70/100 is commonly used in the production of hot mix asphalt for both base and wearing courses. The high viscosity of this bitumen type enables a thinner pavement design, resulting in a significant reduction of approximately 30 percent in the quantity of asphalt required.

As a soft-grade paving bitumen, Bitumen 70/100 is suitable for use in wearing courses, even in regions with low temperatures.

Bitumen 70/100 price and its cost-efficiency

The cost-effectiveness of penetration grade bitumen 70/100 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 70/100, please contact our consultants at Kiapetro company.
