Bitumen 20/30 Reliable Performance in Every Load

Bitumen 20/30: Professional-Grade Binder for Superior Road Durability

When it comes to building infrastructure that lasts, Bitumen 20/30 is the benchmark for reliability. Engineered for projects where the demands of heavy axle loads, harsh climates, and intense sunlight put materials to the ultimate test, this high-performance penetration grade offers outstanding durability, stability, and resilience.

Why Bitumen 20/30 Stands Out

Unlike softer penetration grades that are prone to rutting and deformation, Bitumen 20/30 is specifically designed for projects where uncompromising strength is essential. The low penetration value (20 to 30 dmm at 25°C) means the binder is stiffer and less susceptible to movement under heavy pressure or heat, resulting in smoother, longer-lasting roads.

This makes Bitumen 20/30 a preferred solution for:

• Main Highways and Expressways: Withstand continuous heavy-duty truck and bus traffic without rutting or surface cracks.

• Airport Runways and Industrial Yards: Where intense pressure from aircraft or machinery is the norm, its stiffness ensures the surface remains level and intact.

• Container Terminals and Logistic Parks: Resists the repetitive, high loads from forklifts and transport vehicles, reducing maintenance costs.

• Infrastructure in Hot/Arid Regions: Stands up to UV radiation, high ambient temperatures, and thermal cycling without losing flexibility or strength.

Advanced Manufacturing, Reliable Quality

At Basekim, we prioritize consistency and quality in every batch. Starting with premium crude oil, our process uses advanced refining (vacuum distillation and air-blowing) to fine-tune every property. Each production lot undergoes comprehensive laboratory testing for:

• Penetration

• Softening Point

• Ductility

• Flash Point

• Solubility

• Specific Gravity

This rigorous approach ensures our Bitumen 20/30 not only meets but often exceeds the requirements of international standards like ASTM and EN. Independent third-party inspection (SGS, Intertek, or Bureau Veritas) is available for total buyer confidence.

All shipments are accompanied by complete documentation, including COA, MSDS, and Certificate of Origin.

Packaging and Delivery Options

No matter your project size or destination, we provide flexible packaging:

• New Steel Drums: Ideal for containerized ocean freight and secure on-site handling.

• Jumbo Bulk Bags: Efficient for high-volume jobs and fast site deployment.

• Bulk Vessel Loads: Cost-effective for mega-projects and direct delivery to port facilities.

Our experienced logistics team manages all aspects, from export paperwork and customs clearance to real-time shipment tracking—so your bitumen arrives on time and in perfect condition, anywhere in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

What benefits does Bitumen 20/30 offer compared to softer grades?
It’s harder and more elastic, making it less prone to deformation and surface failures under heavy, repetitive loads or extreme heat.

Where is Bitumen 20/30 typically recommended?
For highways, runways, ports, and any infrastructure in warm, arid, or high-traffic environments.

Is Bitumen 20/30 suitable for cold regions?
It’s mainly designed for warm to hot climates; for freezing zones, a softer grade like 60/70 may be preferable.
