Bitumen 50/70 packed in steel drums for road construction projects

Bitumen 50/70 is a special type of asphalt, and it plays an important role in road construction. Moreover, it offers medium hardness, so it feels neither too soft nor too hard. As a result, it works perfectly for roads that support heavy traffic like cars and trucks. In fact, the name “50/70” comes from a test that measures how deep a needle penetrates the bitumen—between 50 and 70 units.

Where Do Builders Use Bitumen 50/70?

First of all, builders use Bitumen 50/70 to construct roads, highways, parking lots, airport runways, and industrial areas. In addition, this type of bitumen keeps the pavement strong during both hot summers and cold winters. Engineers like this grade because it works well in many different places and weather conditions.
