Bitumen 90 40
Bitumen 90/40 is the soft grade of oxidized bitumen with a softening point and penetration ranges 90C + 5 and penetration 40 +5 desimillimiter. Bitumen 90/40 is semi-solid with some flexibility compared to hard grades and is mostly used in the African market.
How bitumen 90/40 produce?
Bitumen is a type of hydrocarbon and after the destination and removal of hydrogen, more carbon will remove and become harder. By injecting hot air to the bitumen the oxygen of air will combine with the hydrogen of the bitumen and make H2O and vapor and the remain bitumen is more carbon content and is called oxidized bitumen.
Packing and method of peeling
We can supply bitumen 90/40 in 25Kg meltable bags,50Kg meltable bags,25Kg craft bag,50Kg kraft bags,25Kg carton boxes. In a 20ft container, we can supply 22.8MT bulk or pallet. If you are looking for drum packing it is possible in 185Kg Net and 220Kg drum.

How to order penetration-grade bitumen?
The optimum quotation is required to clear packing, quality, and destination to be able to quote accordingly. We have sales agents in many many countries and if you were looking for local purchase we are able to deliver DDP to the project.
Safety of usage and work
When bitumen 90/40 is in room temperature it is 100% safe and just should be in proper storage warehouse to be away from acid and fire but whenever it is on high temperature need to be cared about since the temperature is more than 230 centigrade.
