Bitumen 80/100 | Engineered for Extreme Cold & Lasting Road Performance

Bitumen 80/100: Optimized Flexibility for Cold-Weather Roads

In demanding climates where roads face freezing winters, only a binder with real flexibility can keep infrastructure performing season after season. Bitumen 80/100 is engineered precisely for such environments—its high penetration and pliability make it a vital choice for preventing cracks and pavement failure under thermal stress. Municipal agencies, airport authorities, and EPC contractors in Northern Europe, Central Asia, and high-altitude regions depend on this grade to minimize costly repairs and maximize service life.

Basekim has seen its Bitumen 80/100 used successfully on mountain passes, runways, and bridges exposed to relentless freeze-thaw cycles. When long-term performance and reliability are non-negotiable, this grade stands out as the smart investment for any forward-thinking project manager.

Crafting Bitumen 80/100: Our Approach to Consistent Quality

At Basekim, producing Bitumen 80/100 begins with a careful selection of crude oil sources chosen for optimal binder characteristics. The refining process combines advanced vacuum distillation with a precisely controlled air-blowing phase—fine-tuning both the viscosity and penetration properties.

Every batch is verified through a rigorous suite of laboratory tests: penetration, softening point, ductility, and more. We go beyond the minimums—our process is continually refined to ensure uniformity and stability, so buyers never have to worry about inconsistency between orders. Recent bulk shipments to Finland and Mongolia have been praised for their seamless application and excellent field results, even after tough winters.

FAQ

1. What projects benefit most from Bitumen 80/100?
Bitumen 80/100 is ideal for roads, bridges, and airport runways built in colder climates where flexibility at low temperatures prevents cracking. It’s especially valuable for municipal highways and infrastructure in regions exposed to frequent freeze-thaw cycles.

2. Can Bitumen 80/100 be stored for long periods before use?
Yes, when kept in sealed steel drums or well-maintained bulk tanks, Bitumen 80/100 retains its quality for up to a year. For extended storage, protect it from moisture and direct sunlight to ensure performance isn’t compromised.

3. How do you ensure consistent quality across batches?
Every batch undergoes a series of laboratory tests—penetration, softening point, ductility, and more—both at our production site and, if required, by independent inspection agencies. This guarantees reliable results whether you order 100 tons or 10,000.

4. Can Basekim provide custom packaging or labeling for my market?
Absolutely. We supply Bitumen 80/100 in multiple drum sizes, jumbo bags, or bulk shipments, and can apply custom labels or markings to meet your project or regulatory needs.

5. What certifications accompany each shipment?
Each order comes with a Certificate of Analysis (COA), MSDS, and Certificate of Origin as standard. Third-party inspection reports (such as SGS, Intertek, or Bureau Veritas) are available on request to comply with destination country requirements.
