Oxidised Bitumen 85/25

Oxidized Bitumen 85/25 (also called Blown Bitumen 85/25) is a specialized grade of bitumen that has undergone a controlled oxidation process. This process modifies the physical properties of the bitumen, making it more rigid and less sensitive to temperature changes compared to penetration-grade bitumen.

Oxidised Bitumen 85/25 (BS EN 13304-2009) - Technical Specifications

Main Applications Of Oxidised Bitumen 85/25

Oxidized Bitumen 85/25 has several industrial applications due to its high softening point, low penetration value, excellent adhesion, and resistance to water and chemicals. Below are its primary applications:

1. Waterproofing and Roofing: Used in roofing membranes, sealants, and damp-proof courses to prevent water and moisture infiltration.

2. Road Construction and Maintenance: Acts as a crack sealant, joint filler, and expansion joint material in roads and bridges.

3. Pipe Coating and Corrosion Protection: Protects pipelines and metal surfaces from corrosion, especially in harsh environments.

4. Adhesives and Flooring: Serves as an adhesive for tiles and carpets and forms a durable underlay for flooring.

5. Electrical Insulation: Provides insulation for electric cables and is used in capacitors.

6. Construction Industry: Improves water resistance in concrete and enhances flexibility in mastic asphalt.

7. Marine and Offshore Applications: Protects marine structures and insulates ship decks.

8. Packaging and Container Sealing: Coats drums and containers to prevent leakage and corrosion.

This grade’s resistance to high temperatures and moisture makes it ideal for demanding environments like infrastructure, industrial setups, and marine settings.
