Bitumen 40/50 is another type/grade of bitumen we can provide our clients.
The bitumen is provided during the process of oxidation of vacuum bottom in bitumen production units, Due to its high air blowing and penetration, is used in tropical areas. Below is the product's specification table which will be documented and certified by SGS or any third party inspection company the client wishes
