Bitumen 95/25: Precision Hardness for Specialized Engineering Solutions

Rethinking Performance: The Role of Bitumen 95/25 in Modern Industry

As industrial projects grow more complex, material selection becomes a critical factor in ensuring safety, durability, and efficiency. Bitumen 95/25 is engineered for applications where high hardness, chemical resistance, and long-term dimensional stability are non-negotiable. This unique oxidized bitumen grade is trusted by engineers and specifiers tackling demanding infrastructure, insulation, and waterproofing challenges.

Distinctive Technical Attributes

• High Softening Point (95°C): Maintains rigidity under intense heat, perfect for exposed surfaces or process lines with elevated operating temperatures.

• Controlled Penetration (25 dmm): Balances robust hardness with just enough flexibility for installation and service in static or low-movement environments.

• Outstanding Resistance: Performs exceptionally against water, industrial chemicals, and aggressive soils, minimizing deterioration in challenging locations.

• Long-Term Stability: Withstands oxidation, UV, and mechanical stress, supporting project longevity even in harsh climates.

• Reliable Adhesion: Bonds securely to concrete, steel, brick, and insulation boards for maximum structural protection.

Engineering Applications: Where Bitumen 95/25 Excels

Bitumen 95/25 is selected for its exceptional reliability in applications such as:

• Insulation Panel Production

Its stable, rigid matrix makes Bitumen 95/25 ideal for use in manufacturing thermal insulation panels for industrial facilities and cold storage.

• Protective Coatings for Tanks and Ducts

The grade’s high softening point ensures coatings stay intact on hot tanks, process piping, and ductwork exposed to fluctuating temperatures.

• Advanced Damp-Proofing

Delivers uncompromising water resistance in foundation barriers, bridge decks, and subgrade structures where performance failures are costly.

• Electrical Compounds and Casing

Used as a base material in electrical insulation compounds and cable sheaths due to its dielectric properties and physical durability.

• Joint and Crack Filling in Static Structures

Perfect for expansion joints, static cracks, and seams in large-scale projects where movement is minimal but sealing must be absolute.

Installation and Use: Best Practice Guidance

• Surface Readiness: Clean and dry all substrates; for optimal bonding, apply a compatible primer if required.

• Heating Protocol: Warm 95/25 carefully and evenly; avoid overheating to preserve its molecular structure and physical properties.

• Application Method: Use brushes, mops, trowels, or spraying equipment for even distribution. Multiple thin coats are more effective than a single thick layer.

• Curing Time: Allow each coat to cool and harden fully before adding the next or exposing to stress.
