Bitumen 60/70 in bituminous waterproofing membrane is a very famous use of this type of bitumen. These membranes are used to provide a waterproof barrier in various construction applications, including roofs, basements, foundations, and tunnels. The use of bitumen 60/70 in these membranes provides several benefits. Bitumen 60/70 is a highly viscous, black, and sticky material [...]
Bitumen 60/70 uses in asphalt is from long years ago and it is a commonly used grade of bitumen in the asphalt industry. Asphalt is a mixture of aggregates, such as sand and gravel, and bitumen. Bitumen is a highly viscous, black, semi-solid material that is produced by refining crude oil. It acts as a binder, [...]
Bitumen Types Petroleum bitumen is a viscous and black substance that consists of a large number of hydrocarbons and is solid or semi-solid at ambient temperature. Petroleum bitumen is produced in the process of crude oil distillation and refining in an oil refinery in a distillation tower. In oil-rich countries, mostly transfer crude oil to [...]
Bitumen VG 30 full name is bitumen viscosity grade 30 so as it's clear now we can understand from its full name, the name of this grade of Bitumen is chosen according to its viscosity and this bitumen would be in the viscosity bitumen group. The "VG" in Bitumen VG 30 stands for "Viscosity Grade," which [...]
This petroleum product is a black material that has a pasty shape and its main application is in waterproofing and asphalt making. There are different types of this petroleum products, each of which has its own different applications. More specifically, it can be said that the combination of hydrocarbons in this petroleum product is a paste and [...]
Bitumen SPOT TEST is a fast and efficient method in the quality control laboratory. The positive result of the SPOT TEST indicates that the Bitumen was produced with excess heat or in other words the produced bitumen burnt. And its negative result indicates the production and storage of the relevant Bitumen sample were in the normal [...]
Bitumen 60/70 is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons with different structures and masses that can not be accurately defined and is generally black or blackish brown. It has a high boiling point, good adhesion, and is waterproof. This bitumen is generally produced from refining processes. According to statistics, the approximate annual production in the world is [...]
Different ways of Bitumen 60/70 production: Distillation Process The easiest way of Bitumen 60/70 production would be using crude oil in a distillation tower, this residue has hydrocarbons with a high boiling point, high molecular weight, and low volatility. Crude oil is first distilled in the atmospheric tower and light compounds such as diesel are separated [...]
