Penetration Grade Bitumen 40/50

Description

Bitumen 40/50 is a kind of Bitumen, which is provided during the process of oxidation of vacuum bottom (the Bitumen production feedstock that derives from distillation tower residue in vacuum oil refineries) at bitumen production unit in a manner that its penetration point (kind of test to indicate the hardness of bitumen) is between 40 50.

Applications:

The main common usage of Bitumen 40/50 is to use in road making at tropical regions.
