Bitumen
Bitumen is a mixture of hydrocarbons – mainly carbon and hydrogen – that can be extracted from petroleum by vacuum distillation.
Bitumen comes from Latin. This is a mixture of hydrocarbons – mainly carbon and hydrogen – that can be extracted from petroleum by vacuum distillation. As for sulfur, oxygen, and nitrogen, they play a subordinate role, and metals are present in trace quantities at most. Bitumen is black, sticky, viscous to hard, and practically impossible to dissolve in water. By heating, the initially hard material becomes soft, viscous, and thin between 150° and 200° C. The more it is heated, the less plastic it becomes.
To meet the needs of asphalt manufacturers, road builders, and the construction sector, Solsun supplies bitumen in different grades namely 40-50, 60-70, 85-100, based on softening points and penetration values as well as Natural Bitumen (Gilsonite).
