Viscosity of bitumen 60/70 as per ASTM acceptable range of viscosity for bitumen 60/70 is between 1600 to 2400 poise. Viscosity: Definition and Importance Viscosity is a measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. In the context of bitumen, viscosity refers to its ability to flow under specific temperature and load conditions. It is an […]

Understanding Bitumen’s Softening Point The softening point of bitumen refers to the temperature at which it softens and loses its ability to support a load or resist deformation. It is a critical parameter that determines the suitability of bitumen for specific applications, especially in areas with high ambient temperatures. The higher the softening point, the […]
Easy Way to Recognize the Melting Point of Bitumen A simple way to estimate the Melting point of bitumen is to double the softening point.For example, if Bitumen grade 60/70 has a softening point between 48°C and 52°C, then its melting point usually falls around 96°C to 105°C. Because of this, the same range is […]
Understanding Tack Coat Bitumen Tack coat bitumen, also known as bond coat or tack coat emulsion, acts as a bonding agent between successive asphalt layers. This thin layer of bitumen is applied to the existing road surface before overlaying it with a new asphalt layer. The primary purpose of a tack coat is to ensure […]
Asphalt and bitumen tankers are specialized vessels designed for the transportation of liquid bitumen at high temperatures.Bitumen 60/70 and bitumen 80/100 are most transported in bulk. These tankers are equipped with independent tanks and powerful heating systems to maintain the required temperature of the cargo during transport. NAME OF BITUMEN VESSEL MODEL IVER BLESSING 2010 […]
Iran is the world’s largest producer and exporter of bitumen, accounting for approximately 30% of global production. Bitumen is a by-product of crude oil and is primarily used in the construction industry for road paving and waterproofing. Iran’s strategic location and large reserves of crude oil make it an ideal location for the production and export of bitumen. The country has invested heavily in its bitumen production infrastructure in recent years to improve quality control and increase production capacity to meet demand from its international customers. Iran’s bitumen exports are primarily shipped to neighboring countries in the Middle East and Asia, and the country has also successfully expanded its market share in Africa and Europe. Iran remains a significant player in the global bitumen market and is expected to maintain this position in the coming years.

Sample of SGS Bitumen Inspection A sample of SGS bitumen inspection is one of the most trusted ways to evaluate quality before export. Buyers request this report because it includes accurate laboratory results for penetration, softening point, ductility, flash point, solubility, and loss on heating. As a result, SGS bitumen ensures full transparency between buyer […]
What is the Optimal Melting Temperature for Bitumen? The optimal melting temperature for bitumen varies depending on its intended application and grade. Generally, it ranges from 100°C to 200°C for road construction and roofing. Can Bitumen be Melting at Lower Temperatures for Specific Applications? Yes, for certain applications, such as crack sealing or surface dressing, […]
