Bitumen 10/20 – Trusted Quality for Resilient Infrastructure

Bitumen 10/20: Unmatched Strength for High-Impact, Long-Life Infrastructure

Revolutionizing Heavy-Duty Pavement for a New Generation

Bitumen 10/20 sets a new benchmark for strength and durability in infrastructure where performance can’t be compromised. This ultra-hard binder is the trusted foundation for projects where ordinary asphalt simply won’t last—ensuring seamless, high-load surfaces for decades to come.

Technical Excellence: What Makes Bitumen 10/20 Exceptional?

Bitumen 10/20 is engineered with a penetration value between 10 and 20 dmm at 25°C, resulting in a binder that is exceptionally stiff and highly resilient. Its unique formulation means it resists distortion, rutting, and surface fatigue even under constant stress from heavy machinery, intense heat, and non-stop operations. Project managers, engineers, and public authorities specify Bitumen 10/20 to prevent failures in mission-critical applications where downtime is not an option.

Key Performance Features

• Extreme Rutting Resistance: Withstands the relentless pressure of heavy vehicles, cranes, and loaded containers—ensuring lasting road shape and safety.

• Superior Thermal Stability: Remains firm and stable even in the harshest summer conditions, preventing softening and asphalt bleeding.

• Low Lifecycle Costs: Reduces need for emergency repairs and patching, delivering real long-term value and reliability.

• Strict Quality Consistency: Each batch is produced under advanced controls and tested for every property, guaranteeing identical results and peace of mind.

Purpose-Built for the Toughest Applications

Bitumen 10/20 is not for standard roads—it’s for infrastructure where performance under maximum stress is critical:

• Heavy Container Yards: Maintains integrity under the constant movement of forklifts, trucks, and stacking equipment.

• Logistics and Industrial Facilities: Handles high-axle loads and repetitive movements in distribution parks and industrial yards.

• Major Runways: Used in international and cargo airports, where surface resilience and chemical resistance are essential for safe operations.

• Main Truck Lanes and Expressways: Prevents rutting and deformation, keeping highways smooth and serviceable despite endless freight traffic.

• Extreme Heat Installations: Designed to withstand environments where summer temperatures or heavy equipment would quickly deform regular binders.

• Specialized Engineering Projects: Ideal for bridge decks, bus transit corridors, and haul roads in mining or resource extraction.

Best Practices: Storing and Applying Bitumen 10/20

To maximize the advantages of Bitumen 10/20:

• Storage: Keep in tightly sealed containers to prevent moisture contamination. Maintain recommended storage temperatures to ensure stable handling.

• Heating & Handling: Use controlled heating systems for even flow and easy mixing. Always monitor temperature to preserve binder integrity.

• Surface Preparation: Apply only to clean, dry, and structurally sound base layers. Avoid application during adverse weather for the best results.

• Compaction: Use modern equipment to achieve uniform density, which is key to unlocking the full performance of this hard binder.

Precision Manufacturing & Unwavering Quality Assurance

Bitumen 10/20 is the result of a rigorous, closed-loop production process:

• Source Selection: Only premium crude feedstocks are used, with quality verified at every stage.

• Refining & Blending: State-of-the-art reactors and blending systems create a homogeneous product with controlled stiffness and flow properties.

• Lab Verification: Every shipment undergoes in-depth testing for penetration, softening point, ductility, flash point, and solubility.

• Certification: All loads are accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA), MSDS, and other technical documentation. Third-party laboratory tests are available by request for additional verification.

Packaging & Logistics: Flexible Solutions for Global Projects

Whether you’re building a new port or repaving an airport, Bitumen 10/20 is available in:

• New Steel Drums: Sturdy, safe, and ideal for shipping and onsite storage.

• High-Capacity Jumbo Bags: Convenient for rapid deployment and large-volume requirements.

• Bulk Tanker Delivery: Streamlines supply for mega-projects or continuous paving operations.

From order to delivery, every logistical detail is managed with precision, ensuring your materials arrive intact, on schedule, and ready for immediate use
