Bitumen 10/20

Bitumen grade 10/20

Bitumen 10/20 is a type of high-quality bitumen produced through non-destructive refining of crude oil during petroleum refining. Carbokim, specifically designed for paving, is ideal for road construction, repair, and asphalt pavement production. This penetration grade bitumen offers long-term savings by allowing thinner pavement designs, reducing asphalt usage by up to 30% compared to traditional methods. Its versatility makes it a popular choice for road projects and the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for durable bases and wearing courses.

Properties of 10/20

It is derived from the non-destructive refining of crude oil, ensuring premium quality and longevity. With a penetration grade of 10~20 desi-millimeter and a softening point of 58 ~ 66°C, Bitumen 10/20 thermoplastic and ideal for various applications.

Applications

It is mainly used in road construction and repairs due to its strong viscosity. Bitumen 10/20 also preferred for hot mixed asphalt, providing exceptional performance compared to other grades.
