Bitumen 30/45

Introduction to Bitumen  30/45

Bitumen 30/45 is a standard type of bitumen commonly utilized in road construction and asphalt pavement production due to its exceptional properties. This grade, provided by Carbokim, is derived from the fractional or vacuum distillation process of crude oil, specifically the vacuum residue or short residue feedstock.

Characteristics and Uses 

Superior Performance in Asphalt Pavements

It is renowned for its thermoplastic nature, making it suitable for various temperature conditions.
