Grade 80/100

Royal Global Energy offers Bitumen Penetration Grade 80/100, one of the softest penetration-grade bitumens known for its flexibility and high penetration value. This grade is particularly suitable for projects requiring enhanced elasticity and durability and performs well in areas with moderate climates.

Characteristics That Define Bitumen 80/100

1. High Penetration Value:
   With a penetration range of 80–100 mm, this grade demonstrates a softer texture, making it ideal for applications requiring flexibility.

2. Weather Adaptability:
   Bitumen 80/100 performs efficiently in moderate climates, maintaining its stability under varying temperature conditions.

3. Superior Elasticity:
   Its soft nature allows better performance in construction projects prone to minor movements or structural shifts.

4. Effective Water Resistance:
   Like other bitumen grades, it prevents water infiltration, safeguarding the structural integrity of the materials it binds.

5. Softening Point:
   With a softening range of 42–51°C, Bitumen 80/100 provides sufficient stability while allowing flexibility under operational conditions.

Applications of Bitumen 80/100

• Road Construction:
  Frequently used in paving rural and urban roads, especially in regions with moderate traffic and temperature ranges.

• Industrial Uses:
  Utilized in manufacturing roofing felt, adhesives, and waterproofing products, owing to its soft and malleable nature.

• Waterproofing Systems:
  Applied as a protective layer for structures like tanks, pipes, and concrete foundations to prevent water penetration.

Advantages and Limitations of Bitumen 80/100

Advantages:

• High flexibility and elasticity, reducing the risk of cracking
• Excellent bonding properties with aggregates and other materials
• Cost-effective solution for projects requiring moderate-grade bitumen
• Versatile applications in both construction and industrial processes

Limitations:

• Not suitable for regions with extreme temperatures or heavy traffic
• Relatively lower resistance to high stress compared to harder grades

Why Choose Bitumen 80/100?

Bitumen 80/100 is an optimal choice for projects where flexibility and cost-efficiency are priorities. Its soft and elastic properties make it an excellent material for moderate climate zones, ensuring durability and performance while maintaining affordability.
