Bitumen 85-100
One of Saen Company’s key products is Bitumen 85-100, a penetration grade bitumen characterized by medium hardness and versatile performance across a wide range of applications. With a penetration range of 85–100 (0.1 mm), this grade offers an excellent balance between flexibility and strength, making it suitable for both structural and protective uses.
This product is manufactured through the controlled aeration of vacuum bottom (VB)—the residual material obtained from the vacuum distillation process in oil refineries. Produced in specialized bitumen facilities under strict quality control procedures, Saen’s Bitumen 85-100 ensures consistent specifications, reliable performance, and compliance with international standards.
Thanks to its workability and strong binding properties, Bitumen 85-100 is widely used in road construction, asphalt production, waterproofing systems, insulation layers, and various building projects. It also serves as a base material for the production of liquid bitumen and other modified bituminous products.
Its dependable quality, stable softening point, and excellent adhesion make Bitumen 85-100 a practical and cost-effective solution for contractors, infrastructure developers, and international buyers seeking long-term durability and performance.
