Bitumen 200/300

Description of penetration bitumen 200/300

ATDM Co. manufactures penetration bitumen 200/300, which is a pure petroleum grade bitumen produced through a refined distillation process. After the crude oil has been broken down and the hydrocarbons extracted, the remaining residue is used to create this product. It has a penetration range of 200-300 Deci millimeters and a softening point range of 32-37 degrees Celsius. The thermoplastic nature of penetration grade bitumen 200-300 enables it to soften when heated, but it will return to its rigid shape if allowed to cool back down to its original temperature.

Bitumen 200/300, also known as penetration grade bitumen, is a type of asphalt binder commonly used in road construction and maintenance. It is a soft, viscous material with a penetration range of 200-300 Deci millimeters, as measured by a standard test method. This means that the bitumen is able to penetrate 200-300 Deci millimeters in a standard test apparatus when subjected to a specific load.

Bitumen 200/300 is produced by refining crude oil, and it is characterized by its low softening point, which ranges from 32-37 degrees Celsius. This low softening point makes it suitable for use in cold climates, where the temperature can drop significantly, and the bitumen needs to remain pliable and flexible.

The thermoplastic nature of Bitumen 200/300 enables it to soften when heated, but it will return to its rigid shape if allowed to cool back down to its original temperature. This property makes it a good choice for road construction, as it can be heated and poured easily, and it will harden and become stable once cooled.

Properties of Bitumen 200/300

Bitumen 200/300, also known as penetration grade bitumen, has several important properties that make it a popular choice for road construction and maintenance. Here are some of the key properties of Bitumen 200/300:

  1. Penetration: Bitumen 200/300 has a penetration range of 200-300 decimils at 25 degrees Celsius, as measured by ASTM D5 or equivalent standards. This means that it is a soft, viscous material that can penetrate 200-300 decimils in a standard test apparatus when subjected to a specific load.
  2. Softening point: The softening point of Bitumen 200/300 is typically between 32 and 37 degrees Celsius, as measured by ASTM D36 or equivalent standards. This means that it is a relatively soft bitumen, which can be advantageous in cold climates.
  3. Ductility: The ductility of Bitumen 200/300 is typically between 100 and 200%, as measured by ASTM D113 or equivalent standards. This means that it has good elasticity and can stretch without breaking.
  4. Specific gravity: The specific gravity of Bitumen 200/300 is typically between 1.01 and 1.03, as measured by ASTM D2798 or equivalent standards.
  5. Viscosity: The viscosity of Bitumen 200/300 at 60 degrees Celsius is typically between 140 and 200 centipoise, as measured by ASTM D4402 or equivalent standards.

These properties can vary depending on the specific application, industry standards, and regional regulations. It is important to consult the relevant standards and specifications for the intended use of the Bitumen 200/300 to ensure that it meets the required specifications.
