ToggleUse of Bitumen Class 600
It can find extensive use in road paving projects, especially in areas with high traffic volumes and heavy loads. Its high viscosity and excellent adhesive properties make it ideal for creating durable asphalt mixes that can withstand harsh weather conditions and intense vehicular traffic. Additionally, it is commonly utilized in the manufacturing of industrial coatings, sealants, and adhesives.
Difference Between Bitumen Class 600 and 300
The primary difference between are lies in their viscosity and consistency. Bitumen grade 600 is typically thicker and more viscous compared to Bitumen grade 300. This variation in properties affects their performance in different applications, and often being preferred for heavy-duty purposes where greater durability and strength are required.
Handling
During handling, it’s essential to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection to prevent skin and eye contact. Additionally, maintain safe heating temperatures when using this product to avoid accidents or overheating.
Storage
Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure drums or containers are tightly sealed to prevent contamination and evaporation.
Packing
Typically packaged and distributed in various containers such as drums, barrels, or bulk tanker trucks, depending on the quantity and requirements of the end-user.
