Bitumen 60/70 Oil
Bitumen 60/70, classified as a semi-hard penetration grade bitumen, is ideally suited for road construction and repair. It serves as a key component in the production of asphalt pavements, offering the following technical specifications:
This particular grade of bitumen finds its primary application in the formulation of hot mix asphalt, utilized for both base and surface courses in road construction. Bitumen 60/70 stands as the most widely used grade, forming the fundamental material for various other bituminous products.
Bitumen Penetration Grade 60/70 plays a central role in the creation of hot mix asphalt, serving as the foundation for road bases and wear-resistant surfaces. JLK Holdings BV supplies high-quality Penetration Grade Bitumen, crafted through the fractional/vacuum distillation of crude oil. Our bitumen originates from vacuum residue (short residue) feedstock.
The specification for JLK Holdings BV Penetration Grade bitumens is determined through penetration and softening point testing, with designation primarily based on the penetration range. These bitumens exhibit a unique thermoplastic property, causing them to soften at elevated temperatures and harden at lower ones. This distinctive temperature/viscosity relationship is pivotal in assessing crucial performance parameters such as adhesion, rheology, durability, and application temperatures, ensuring the bitumen’s reliability in various applications.
