Bitumen 100-120
Bitumen 100/120 is a soft penetration-grade bitumen produced from the vacuum distillation of crude oil. Due to its high penetration value, this grade provides excellent flexibility, superior adhesive strength, and high workability during mixing and paving. It is commonly used in regions with cold to moderate climates, allowing asphalt mixtures to withstand temperature fluctuations without cracking.
This bitumen is widely applied in road construction, cold weather asphalt layers, and industrial waterproofing compounds where elasticity, durability, and long-term performance are essential.
