Bitumen 115/25: High-Endurance Performance for Demanding Industry

Evolving Infrastructure Needs: Why Bitumen 115/25 Matters

In a world where reliability and longevity are non-negotiable, project managers and engineers require materials that can withstand both heat and heavy loads. Bitumen 115/25 delivers on that need. As a specialized oxidized bitumen grade with an ultra-high softening point and carefully balanced flexibility, Bitumen 115/25 is engineered to excel in demanding applications—where protection, stability, and chemical resistance must be guaranteed.

Key Features at a Glance

• Ultra-High Softening Point (115°C): Maintains form and performance under direct sunlight, high temperatures, and thermal cycling.

• Optimal Penetration (25 dmm): Combines toughness with just enough flexibility for secure, lasting application.

• Outstanding Moisture & Chemical Resistance: Blocks water ingress, acids, alkalis, and harsh industrial contaminants, even in the most exposed locations.

• UV & Weather Stability: Keeps its physical integrity over years of service, resisting cracking, embrittlement, and shrinkage.

• Strong Adhesion: Bonds firmly to concrete, metal, insulation, and other industrial substrates for reliable protection.

Applications: Where Bitumen 115/25 Excels

Bitumen 115/25 is chosen for projects where only the highest performance is acceptable, including:

• High-Temperature Roofing and Waterproofing

Provides unmatched resistance to flow, deformation, and weathering in flat or sloped industrial roofing, vapor barriers, and water-resistant felts.

• Tank, Pipeline & Duct Coating

Its high softening point ensures the coating stays solid and effective on hot process lines, chemical tanks, and steel pipes.

• Structural Damp-Proofing

Blocks moisture in bridge decks, tunnels, and substructure works—even where exposed to freeze-thaw or aggressive soils.

• Advanced Insulation and Electrical Compounds

Used in insulation boards, cable sheathing, and electrical casings for premium thermal and dielectric protection.

• Expansion Joint & Static Sealant

Fills expansion joints and static cracks in heavy structures where rigidity and long-term sealing are critical.

Best Practice Application Guide

• Surface Prep: Clean all surfaces; dry and remove debris. Priming may be recommended for maximum adhesion.

• Heating: Warm gently and evenly; do not overheat to maintain engineered properties.

• Multi-Layering: Apply in multiple thin coats with full cooling between, to maximize bond strength and protective performance.

• Final Inspection: Check for full coverage and uniform curing before final loading or exposure.
