Our Products
Export bitumen 60-70
Bitumen 60/70 is a type of bitumen whose penetration degree is between 60 and 70 degrees Celsius. This penetration degree, which is essentially a semi-hard penetration degree, makes bitumen 60/70 a heavy bitumen suitable for road construction and repair and is used in asphalt production. Bitumen 60/70, one of the best-selling products of oil refineries with a standard penetration degree, is used in large quantities in the industry for insulation and asphalt production. Bitumen types are selected for different applications and weather conditions according to their permeability (softness and hardness) and many other characteristics. Bitumen 70/60 has great resistance to environmental factors such as heat, cold and sunlight. These technical specifications of bitumen 6070 make it suitable for use in road construction projects in areas with different climatic conditions and make India, China and the Gulf countries the largest buyers of Shell bitumen 60/70 for export. It maintains its quality over time.
Bitumen of the type SC
Slow Curing or SC soluble bitumens are another type of soluble bitumens that are produced using heavy solvents such as diesel, fuel oil or black oil. Of course, under normal conditions, these solvents do not evaporate and only undergo molecular deformation. This type of bitumen is used to make base and subbase layers, insulation and sealing of hydraulic structures. It takes a long time for slow-curing bitumens to fully set after use. In fact, these bitumens do not set under normal weather conditions, but their molecular deformation is relatively gradual and long. Slow-curing bitumens are graded into four types. Slow-curing bitumens are classified into four types according to their viscosity: SC-70, SC-250, SC-800, SC-3000, where the suffix numbers indicate the slow-curing bitumen in centistokes. Their minimum viscosity is at 60 degrees Celsius, and for the most dilute type, or -30 SC, it is equivalent to 30 centistokes, and for the most concentrated type, or -3000 SC, it is equivalent to 3000 centistokes.
Bitumen of the type MC
Retarder solution bitumen or MC bitumen is abbreviated as Medium Curing and is a type of bitumen that is produced using semi-heavy solvents such as kerosene. The use of petroleum solvents reduces the viscosity of the bitumen, and according to this standard, this value for Mc-250 bitumen is between 250 and 500 based on CST at 60 degrees Celsius. The MC bitumen category is classified into subcategories; MC30, MC250, MC800 and MC3000. MC250 bitumen is a type of asphalt bitumen that is used as one of the most widely used types of bitumen in the construction and road construction industries. This bitumen is used to cover various surfaces due to its properties such as chemical stability, resistance to heat and abrasion, proper flexibility and the ability to fill surface pores of the asphalt coating. This type of bitumen is used from the beginning of the asphalt mixture preparation process to surface coating, for daily repairs and on international highways in many countries.
Bitumen MIX 25-85
Bitumen mixture 25/85 has a number of unique properties, bitumen mixture 25/85 is used in construction works, for example, in the production of asphalt concrete and various mortars, modern adhesives, as well as a number of popular coatings and roofing materials. Bitumen mixture 25/85 is classified as hydrophobic materials. However, bitumen dissolves in benzene, carbon disulfide, chloroform, acetone, gasoline and other organic solvents. The density of typical construction bitumen mixture 25/85 is 0.95-1.50 g / cm2. The porosity of bitumen is practically zero. Therefore, this material is classified as waterproof and frost-resistant. This led to its practical use in waterproofing, as well as in construction.
Bitumen MIX 85-100
Bitumen 85/100 is one of the types of graded bitumen that is widely used in the civil engineering and road construction industry in cold regions.
Bitumen 85/100 is one of the standard types among the types of graded bitumen.
Bitumen 85/100 has thermoplastic properties, meaning that it becomes softer when heated and harder when cooled.
This bitumen has a very strong viscosity, which makes it suitable for use in various conditions. Bitumen 85/100 has high resistance to erosion and destructive atmospheric factors, and for this reason, it offers a longer useful life.
This bitumen, with a penetration degree of 85 to 100 hundredths of a millimeter, is a widely used bitumen in the road construction industry.
Bitumen mix 40-50
Bitumen 50-40 is a bitumen obtained by performing an aeration process on vacuum bottoms (the raw material for bitumen production that is taken from the bottom of the distillation tower in the vacuum of oil refineries) in bitumen units in such a way that its permeability degree is between 40 and 50. Use in road construction industries for tropical regions, insulation, and also the production of liquid bitumen are some of the applications of this type of bitumen. Bitumen 40/50, based on tests, has a penetration degree between 4 and 5 mm. The higher the penetration degree of the bitumen, the softer the bitumen, and the lower the permeability degree, the harder and stiffer the bitumen. Bitumen 40/50 can be considered as a type of “double-sided adhesive” that has very high adhesion.
Packaging, Transportation and Export Services
Advanced Heading
Providing a variety of packaging, transportation and bitumen export services based on customer needs
Providing a variety of packaging, transportation and bitumen export services based on customer needs
types of packaging
To meet the needs of our customers, we have provided various types of packaging in the form of barrels, jumbo bags, standard flexi bags, and also transporting bitumen in bulk. In addition, we are also with our customers for the services of loading bitumen into containers or ships, as well as declaring goods at the country's customs.
Types of Packaging
Bulk
In cases where the destination is equipped with bulk unloading equipment, transporting bitumen in bulk in special tankers is one of the most economical methods. Bulk bitumen is transported in liquid or semi-liquid form in large tanks.Bitumen carriers are specifically designed and built for this purpose.
Jumbo Bag
Bitumen packing in jumbo bags, also known as flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) or bulk bags, is another common method used in the industry. They are a type of polyalkane bag that has high flexibility and resistance, and also suitable and efficient packaging method for transporting and storing bitumen.
Flexibag
The flexibag for bitumen is an innovative bulk transport solution that revolutionizes the way bitumen is stored and transported. Flexibags are flexible bags used for transporting bulk liquids. They are usually made of polyethylene or polypropylene and have multiple layers to prevent liquid leakage.
Metal Barrel
Metal barrels are one of the most common methods of packaging and transporting bitumen.
They are important due to their high resistance to impact and pressure, as well as their ability to retain heat. The size of these barrels ranges from 200 liters to 250 liters. They are usually made of strong and durable materials such as metal and sheet metal .
