Bitumen 80/100: The Versatile Choice for General Paving
ROADGRIP's Bitumen 80/100 is a widely recognized penetration grade bitumen, valued for its consistent quality and adaptability across various road construction projects. While the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has shifted towards viscosity grading (IS 73:2013) for primary classification, penetration grades like 80/100 remain relevant and are extensively used for specific applications where their unique properties are advantageous.
Understanding Penetration Grade 80/100
The '80/100' designation refers to the penetration value, indicating that a standard needle will penetrate between 80 and 100 tenths of a millimeter into the bitumen sample at 25°C under specific load and time conditions. This range signifies a medium-hard bitumen, offering a balance of flexibility and stiffness, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of paving applications.
Key Characteristics & Applications
Bitumen 80/100 is known for its excellent adhesive properties, ensuring a strong bond with aggregates and contributing to the overall stability and durability of the asphalt mix. Its consistent workability makes it a preferred choice for contractors seeking reliable performance in the field. Typical applications include:
- General Road Construction: Ideal for building and maintaining urban roads, rural roads, and secondary highways.
- Pavement Layers: Used in various layers of flexible pavements, including base courses, binder courses, and wearing courses.
