Bitumen AR2000 (ASTM D3381–09) - Technical Specifications

Main Applications Of Bitumen AR2000

The primary application of bitumen AR2000 is in road construction and maintenance. It's a versatile asphalt grade commonly used for:

1. Constructing new roads and highways:AR2000 is mixed with aggregates to form asphalt concrete, which is then laid down to create the pavement surface.

2. Resurfacing existing roads:AR2000 can be used to repair damaged or worn-out road surfaces, extending their lifespan.

3. Patching potholes:AR2000 is a popular choice for filling potholes and other small defects in roads.

4. Applying seal coats:It can be used to create a protective layer on existing pavements, improving their durability and resistance to weathering.

AR2000's excellent durability, temperature resistance, and ease of application make it a preferred choice for various road construction and maintenance projects.

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:

Drum Packing

Bitumen is commonly packed in steel drums, which are robust and provide good protection during transportation.

Jumbo Packing

Bitumen is packed in high-density polyethylene (HDPE) bags and are lined with a plastic bag to prevent leakage.

Tanker Vessel

Bitumen can be transported in bulk using specially designed tankers equipped with heating systems to maintain the bitumen in a molten state.

Tank Container

These are large, insulated containers used for the international transport of bitumen.
