Main Applications Of Bitumen Multigrade 600

Bitumen Multigrade 600, is used in applications requiring high performance under extreme conditions due to its high viscosity (600 Poise at 60°C). Its key attributes include high stiffness and excellent temperature stability, making it suitable for demanding environments.

Highways and Major Roads: Used in the construction and maintenance of highways, freeways, and major roads that experience heavy traffic and variable environmental conditions. Its high viscosity helps in maintaining road stability and integrity.
Industrial Roads and Freight Terminals: Applied in industrial areas, ports, and freight terminals where heavy vehicle loads and industrial activities demand a durable and stable pavement material. Bitumen Multigrade 600 provides the necessary resistance to heavy loads and deformation.
Airport Runways and Taxiways: Suitable for airport runways, taxiways, and aprons, where the pavement must endure the stresses from aircraft operations and temperature fluctuations. Its high viscosity ensures the pavement remains stable and durable.
Warm and Variable Climate Regions: Effective in regions with extreme temperatures, providing resistance to softening in hot climates and maintaining flexibility in cooler conditions.
Heavy-Duty Pavements: Used in areas like truck stops, bus depots, and parking areas for heavy-duty vehicles, where it offers resistance to wear, rutting, and deformation under high stress.
High-Stress Road Sections: Applied in intersections, roundabouts, and sharp curves where concentrated stress from vehicles occurs. Bitumen Multigrade 600 helps manage the wear and stress in these high-demand areas.

Bitumen Multigrade 600 is mainly used for highways, industrial roads, airport infrastructure, and heavy-duty pavements. Its high stiffness and temperature stability make it ideal for environments with heavy traffic, extreme weather conditions, and intense stress.

Various Packing Method for Bitumen

Packing bitumen is an essential process to ensure its safe transportation, storage, and handling. The method of packing often depends on the type of bitumen, the transportation method, and the end-use. Here are the various methods used to pack bitumen:
