Oxidized Bitumen 95/25
Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 Description
Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 is Semi Solid grade of pure petroleum bitumen manufactured by air-blowing through an asphalt flux. Special physical properties of its grade can be used in different applications in the construction business. Oxidized bitumen95/25 is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by oxidized bitumen 60/70 by very hot air. The numbers relate to the midpoint of the material’s softening point and penetration respectively. The softening point value is the degrees Centigrade measured by the Ring and Ball method as determined by ASTM D36. The penetration value is in 1/10 mm as determined by IP49 or ASTM- D5.
oxidized Bitumen is industrial bitumen which is dark, petroleum residue modified by the oxidation process. Oxidized Bitumen is produced by passing air through bitumen under controlled temperature conditions. Its consistency ranges from highly viscous to solid. Blown bitumen grade has technical advantages such as durability, flexibility, water-resistant and chemical stability. There is a different grade of blown bitumen.
Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 Applications
Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 is widely used as an anti-slip layer compound in the piling industry, for the manufacture of roofing felts, the roofing and waterproofing industries, for sound dampening felts and undercarriage sealant in the automotive industry, electric cable joint protection, joint filling compound, carpet-backing, corrosion protection, acoustic panels, chemical, fuel, Manufacture of paints, sealant compound, and many others. Also used in sealing saw cuts and joints where expected movements are minimum. It is also used in the manufacturing of bituminous marine mastic for the oil & gas pipeline joints. Further, Oxidized Bitumen is used in the manufacture of bituminous marine mastic, which is required for the oil and gas pipeline joints.
- Oxidized bitumen is used as a sealing of expansion joints.
- Oxidized bitumen is used as a repair of joints or cracks.
- Oxidized bitumen is used as a fixation of parquet floors.
- Oxidized bitumen is used as an adhesive to be used in thermal insulation.
