Oxidised Bitumen 85/40

Oxidized Bitumen 85/40 is a grade of bitumen produced by blowing air through bitumen under high temperatures. This oxidation process increases its hardness, raises the softening point, and reduces penetration, making it suitable for applications that require stability in extreme weather conditions.

Main Applications Of Oxidised Bitumen 85/40

Oxidized Bitumen 85/40 is a versatile material with applications across multiple industries due to its high softening point, low penetration value, and resistance to moisture and chemicals. Various application includes,

1. Waterproofing and Roofing: Used in roofing membranes and water-resistant sealants to protect buildings from moisture.

2. Road Maintenance and Expansion Joints: Applied as a crack sealant and joint filler in roads, highways, and bridges.

3. Corrosion Protection: Coats pipelines and metal surfaces to prevent rust and chemical damage.

4. Electrical Insulation: Provides insulation for electric cables and equipment.

5. Construction Industry: Improves water resistance in concrete and is used in mastic asphalt for flooring and road surfacing.

6. Marine and Offshore Applications: Insulates ship decks and protects offshore structures from saltwater corrosion.

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