Bitumen 60/70

Bitumen 60/70 is one of the most commonly traded bitumen types in international markets due to its reliable performance, easy handling, and suitability for various asphalt applications. Bitumen 60/70 consists mainly of complex hydrocarbons, including asphaltenes, resins, and aromatic compounds, which provide strong binding properties and resistance to environmental conditions.

This grade is primarily used in road construction, highway paving, airport runways, asphalt concrete production, and road maintenance projects. Due to its moderate penetration and good temperature performance, it is highly suitable for regions with moderate climate conditions. This grade is widely used in the production of hot mix asphalt (HMA), surface dressing, bituminous macadam, and pavement layers where excellent adhesion between aggregates and binder is required. It also offers good resistance against cracking, water penetration, and mechanical stress, making it a preferred choice for infrastructure development projects.

The main advantages of Bitumen 60/70 include high durability, excellent aggregate adhesion, thermal stability, water resistance, and long service life. Iranian Bitumen 60/70 is internationally recognized due to the availability of high-quality crude oil resources and competitive export pricing. This product can be supplied in different commercial forms, including new steel drums, jumbo bags, and bulk tanker shipments, according to customer requirements. Export-quality Bitumen 60/70 is tested based on international standards such as ASTM and EN to guarantee consistent quality and performance for global buyers.
