Bitumen 80-100
This product is a semi-soft penetration-grade bitumen widely used in asphalt production, road construction and pavement rehabilitation.
With a penetration range of 80–100 dmm, this grade provides a balanced combination of workability, flexibility and resistance to traffic loading, making it suitable for a variety of climatic and pavement conditions.
Bitumen 80/100 for Asphalt & Road Construction
Bitumen 80/100 is primarily used as a binder in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) for road base, binder and surface courses. Its relatively higher penetration compared with harder grades allows the asphalt mixture to retain greater flexibility, which can be particularly advantageous in cooler climates where resistance to low-temperature cracking is an important consideration.
The grade is also used in road surfacing, pavement maintenance and rehabilitation projects, where the required performance depends on local climate, aggregate characteristics, traffic conditions and pavement design.
Production & Quality
The production of penetration-grade bitumen 80/100 is based on carefully controlled refinery processes to achieve the required penetration and softening-point characteristics. Depending on the production source and refinery configuration, suitable vacuum residue streams may be processed and blended to meet the specified grade.
For international supply, consistent quality is essential. Nexoil works with established production and supply facilities across its regional network to source and deliver bitumen according to project specifications, applicable international standards and customer requirements.
Bitumen 80/100 for African Markets
Bitumen 80/100 has established demand in a number of African road construction and infrastructure markets. Kenya and other East African destinations are among the markets where this grade is regularly considered for asphalt and road development applications, subject to local engineering specifications and climatic conditions.
For buyers in Africa, product quality is only one part of a reliable supply program. Origin, loading capability, packaging, documentation, vessel availability and freight logistics can have a direct impact on the delivered cost and execution of a project.
