Bitumen Penetration 10/20

Bitumen 10/20 Description

Bitumen Penetration 10/20 is a high viscosity and hardness of the bitumen Penetration, which results in a material with a penetration range of 10 to 20 dmm (decimillimeters) at 25°C. this grade suitable for areas with heavy traffic loads and extreme weather conditions. The softening point for this grade is typically between 58 and 66°C.

Bitumen 10/20 in Different Weather

In hot weather, it doesn’t soften or flow, which lowers the risk of bleeding and rutting. On the other hand, in cold weather, it stays flexible enough to stop thermal cracking, which keeps the pavement strong through changes in the seasons. This stability in temperature means less maintenance is needed and the road surface lasts longer.

Peopertiese

The properties of Bitumen 10/20 include high stiffness, excellent temperature stability, and a high softening point (typically 60°C to 70°C). These characteristics contribute to its ability to maintain structural integrity in both hot and cold climates, resist flow and deformation at high temperatures, and provide necessary flexibility to prevent cracking. Additionally, Bitumen 10/20 exhibits strong adhesive properties, allowing for improved bonding with aggregate materials in asphalt mixtures.

Common Questions

Is Bitumen 10/20 suitable for hot climate regions?2025-07-23T10:55:17+00:00

Yes, Bitumen Penetration 10/20 is suitable for hot climate regions due to its hard consistency and low penetration value, which help it resist deformation and rutting under high temperatures.

How is Bitumen Penetration 10/20 different from 40/50 or 60/70?2025-07-23T10:55:47+00:00

Bitumen Penetration 10/20 has a lower penetration value than 40/50 or 60/70, meaning it is much harder and stiffer.

Do you export Bitumen 10/20 to Africa, Asia, or Europe?2025-07-23T10:57:35+00:00
