BITUMEN

  • Bitumen 60/70, or Asphalt 60/70, is a specialized material used in road construction and waterproofing. It has the ability to withstand various temperatures and is suitable for moderate climates. It is produced through refining crude oil and does not require additional processing, making it cost-effective. The production process involves testing the penetration rate and hardness of the bitumen. Penetration Bitumen 60/70 has a low environmental impact and promotes sustainable construction practices as a recyclable material.
