Bitumen Penetration Grade 40/50

Bitumen Penetration Grade 40/50 Description

Bitumen penetration grade 40/50 bitumen means the penetration value is in the range 40 to 50 at standard test conditions which commonly used as a Paving Grade. Bitumen is applicable for the production of hot mix asphalt for bases and pavements and for road construction. Penetration Grade Bitumen supplied by HJ Oil is produced through aeration on vacuum bottom (the raw material used for making bitumen left in vacuum distillation column in oil refineries) in bitumen production units. Its penetration grade ( the measure of bitumen hardness) is between 40 to 50. Bitumen is specified by the penetration and softening point test. Designing is by penetration range only. The penetration grade bitumen has a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature-viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability, and application temperatures of bitumen.

The Bitumen mode is dependent on temperature. The temperature-vs-stiffness relationship of bitumen is dependent on the type of crude oil and its refining method. Bitumen penetration grade 40/50 is semi-hard penetration grade bitumen used as a paving grade bitumen which is suitable for road construction and repair. It is also used for the production of asphalt pavements with the technical specification. This grade of bitumen is mainly used in the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses. Bitumen 40/50 is one of the most used bitumen grades and it’s a basic material for all other bituminous products.

Bitumen Penetration Grade 40/50 Applications

Bitumen 40/50 is Suitable for road construction and for the asphalt pavements with superior properties. This type of bitumen used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses and the main usage of this product is used in the road in tropical regions. the bitumen is provided during the presses of oxidation of vacuum bottom in bitumen production units. Due to its high air blowing and penetration, it is used in tropical areas with the Warm weather. It is not softened at high temperatures and does not fail its qualities.

Guaranty and safety of bitumen 40/50

HJ Oil guaranty the quality of bitumen penetration grade 40/50 with the arrangement of the international inspector to check quality and quantity during the loading to the vessel and controlling the production by QC by batch test report before shipping. HJ Oil guarantees the quality to meet with ASTM.

Bitumen C600

Bitumen C600 Description

C600 is a paving grade bitumen manufactured to AS 2008 Table 2.2 and is primarily suitable for use in high modulus
base course asphalt.

Summary of benefits

The Viva standards to which C600 bitumen is made result in a very consistent bitumen with predictable handling and performance characteristics

Bitumen C600 Applications

C600 bitumen is the hardest paving grade bitumen available in Australia and is mainly used to produce high modulus
asphalt. Heavy-duty asphalt pavements need to be designed to accommodate significant traffic loadings for up to 40
years without exhibiting structural failure and hence, need to be constructed using appropriate materials. The load
spreading characteristics of pavement layers are governed by their stiffness and C600 bitumen facilitates the production of high modulus asphalt.

Health & safety

C600 is unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended
an application where good standards of industrial practice are maintained.

Bitumen C600 Typical characteristics

Bitumen, also known as asphalt in the United States, is a substance that forms through the distillation of crude oil. It has waterproofing and adhesive properties. Bitumen production through distillation removes lighter crude oil components, such as gasoline and diesel, leaving the “heavier” Asphalt behind. The producer often refines it several times to improve its grade. Bitumen can also occur in nature: Deposits of naturally occurring bitumen form at the bottom of ancient lakes, where prehistoric organisms have since decayed and have been subjected to heat and pressure.

Bitumen C450

Bitumen C450 Description

Bitumen C450 is a paving grade bitumen manufactured to comply with AS2008 Table 2.2 and is suitable for use in heavily trafficked asphalt.

Bitumen C450 Applications

C450 was originally a development from the Roads and Maritime Services in New South Wales and was incorporated into the 2012 revision of the national bitumen standard AS2008. C450 has been formulated to meet the viscosity requirements of AS2008 Table 2.2 whilst retaining excellent asphalt workability characteristics. The target applications are asphalt wearing courses and base courses for heavily trafficked pavements.

Asphalt recommendations

Health & safety

Sealing recommendations

During sealing operations, it is normal practice to add cutter oil to the bitumen to reduce binder viscosity to a level at which effective wetting and adhesion of the cover aggregate can take place. The quantity of cutter oil added to the bitumen depends upon the pavement temperature, the daily traffic, and the nominal size of the cover aggregate.

Basic cutting practice for Viva Bitumen C170 bitumen should be as follows:

Parts cutter per 100 parts bitumen measured at 15°C

Cationic Bitumen Emulsion K3

Cationic Bitumen Emulsion K3 Description

Bitumen Emulsion K3 cationic bitumen emulsion (medium setting) road emulsion that contains 57% bitumen, is black in color and is manufactured strictly as per KS 02-769: 1990 standard.
Bitumen Emulsion K3 is cold applied, liquid bitumen emulsions, used in the construction and repair of pavements, driveways, roads, and highways.

Cationic Bitumen Emulsion K3 Applications

Bituminous-aggregate mixtures
For pavement bases and surfaces:

• Plant mix (cold): with open-graded aggregate

Mixed-in-place:

• Open-graded aggregate

Bituminous applications

• Crack Filler

Maintenance mix

• Immediate use

Cationic emulsions may be used at ambient temperatures with aggregates, which need not be completely dry. Emulsions are less hazardous to use and can be applied in a wider range of conditions.

Application Conditions of Cationic Emulsion Bitumen K3

Bitumen Emulsion K3 must only be applied in dry, frost-free conditions which will remain throughout the film drying period. Temperatures of between 5°C and 35°C should prevail.

Before application drums should be well rolled to agitate contents before use. Cationic emulsions should be applied by brushing with a hand broom or squeegee. Spread in one direction only and avoid scrubbing often. It is more practical to apply by spray as this provides uniform distribution and even film. Spray equipment should conform to BS3136: Specification for Cold Emulsion Spraying Machines for Roads.
Spray evenly to avoid ponding in hollows as this may cause localized “fatting up” of the subsequent courses.

Preparation

All surfaces must be dry and free from dust, oil, grease, fuel spillage, mud, leaves, etc. In hot weather, it may be advisable to dampen the surface with water in order to retard the loss of water from the emulsion as it cures and to ensure better wetting of the surface by the emulsion. It is essential that the surface is free of standing water prior to and during application.
