What is Bitumen Grade 80/100?
Bitumen 80/100 is a penetration-grade paving bitumen — 80–100 decimillimetres of needle penetration at 25 °C — the standard binder for asphalt road construction in warm and temperate climates. It ships in bulk (bitutainers or heated tankers), new steel drums, or jumbo bags per project logistics. Related solid commodities: Petroleum Coke and Sulphur Granular.
