What is Bitumen Penetration Grade 80/100?

Bitumen 80/100 is a soft, high-performance penetration-grade bitumen best known for its strong binder strength, superior elasticity, and exceptional waterproofing properties. The designation “80/100” refers to its penetration depth value measured between 80 to 100 dmm at 25°C under standard laboratory conditions (ASTM D5).

Because of its higher penetration value and lower softening point compared to stiffer grades, Bitumen 80/100 stays flexible even when ambient temperatures drop significantly. When asphalt pavements are constructed in colder regions, hard bitumen can freeze, become brittle, and crack under heavy traffic loads. Bitumen 80/100 absorbs thermal stress and cold freeze-thaw cycles, keeping asphalt roads smooth and crack-free.

If your civil engineering project requires stiffer binders, higher viscosity ratings, or different climatic suitability, explore our full spectrum of export-grade asphalt:

• Bitumen 60/70: Medium-hard penetration grade bitumen ideal for temperate climates and heavy-traffic highways.

• Bitumen VG-30: High-viscosity asphalt binder engineered for hot weather conditions and heavy axle loading.

• Bitumen VG-40: Extra heavy-duty viscosity grade designed for extreme ambient temperatures and high-stress pavements.

Technical Specifications & Typical Certificate of Analysis (COA)

To ensure that every exported batch complies with strict international standards such as ASTM D946, AASHTO M20, and EN 12591, Bitumen 80/100 supplied by Call2Supply undergoes rigorous laboratory testing prior to port loading. Below is the standard technical datasheet:

• Penetration at 25°C (100g, 5s): 80 to 100 dmm (ASTM D5)

• Softening Point: 45°C to 52°C (ASTM D36)

• Specific Gravity at 25°C: 1.01 to 1.05 g/cm³ (ASTM D70)

• Ductility at 25°C: Min 100 cm (ASTM D113)

• Loss on Heating (% wt): Max 0.5% (ASTM D6)

• Drop in Penetration After Heating: Max 20% (ASTM D5 / ASTM D6)

• Flash Point (Cleveland Open Cup): Min 225°C (ASTM D92)

• Solubility in Trichloroethylene: Min 99.0% (ASTM D2042)

Note: An official refinery Certificate of Analysis (COA) issued directly by Jey Oil or Pasargad Oil laboratory is provided with every shipment. Third-party inspection certificates from independent agencies (such as SGS or Geo-Chem) are also available upon request.

Key Applications of Bitumen Grade 80/100

Thanks to its low-temperature flexibility, excellent adhesion, and water resistance, Bitumen 80/100 is widely specified across multiple construction and manufacturing sectors:

1. Cold & Mild Climate Road Paving: Serves as the primary binding glue in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) for highways, city avenues, airport runways, and parking lots in cold-to-temperate regions.

2. Waterproofing & Roofing Felts: Functions as a critical raw material in manufacturing bituminous waterproofing membranes, roofing felts, foundation damp-proof coatings, and anti-corrosive pipeline sealants.

3. Emulsions & Liquid Bitumen Production: Used as feedstock by processors to manufacture liquid bitumen emulsions, cutbacks, and tack coats sprayed on road bases prior to paving.

4. Crack Fillers & Joint Sealants: Formulated into flexible joint compounds and sealants to repair structural cracks in concrete pavements, bridge decks, and canal linings.

Packaging & Export Logistics

To guarantee safe ocean transit and protect cargo integrity during long voyages, Call2Supply provides heavy-duty packaging configurations dispatched directly from primary export hubs, including Bandar Abbas (Shahid Rajaee Port):

• New Steel Drums: High-density steel drums available in 150kg, 180kg, and 240kg capacities, tightly stuffed inside 20ft FCL containers.

• Jumbo Bags (Bitubags / Flexibags): Eco-friendly, cost-effective 300kg to 1000kg multi-layer polybag containers supported by robust steel cages to minimize freight expenses.

• Bulk Vessel Shipments: Specialized heated bitumen vessel tankers capable of handling large-scale orders from 1,000 MT to 10,000+ MT.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the main difference between Bitumen 60/70 and Bitumen 80/100?

Bitumen 80/100 is softer and more elastic (penetration value of 80-100 dmm), making it ideal for cold regions to prevent thermal road cracking. Bitumen 60/70 is stiffer (60-70 dmm), designed for temperate climates and heavy-traffic highways.

2. Can Bitumen 80/100 be used in extremely hot climates?

It is generally not recommended for very hot climates or heavy axle loads, as softer bitumen can soften further under elevated temperatures and cause rutting. For hot climates, Bitumen VG-30 or Bitumen VG-40 are better suited.

3. How can I verify cargo quality before shipment?

Every shipment includes an official refinery COA. Additionally, buyers can request a full pre-shipment inspection conducted at the port of loading by independent inspection authorities like SGS or Geo-Chem.

4. What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for export?

Our standard minimum export order starts at 1 FCL (Full Container Load / approx. 20 Metric Tons) in steel drums or jumbo bags, up to multi-thousand-ton bulk vessel charters.
