Available types and commercial grades
The options below can be investigated against a complete buyer specification. Availability, producer, origin and conformance are confirmed in the written quotation.
Penetration grade 60/70
A widely specified paving grade, subject to the project standard and test limits.
Penetration grades 80/100 and 85/100
Softer grades considered where specified by the project designer.
VG grades
Viscosity-graded bitumen supplied only to the named grade and standard.
Polymer-modified bitumen
Performance-modified material sourced where the polymer system and performance criteria are defined.
Oxidized bitumen
Industrial and waterproofing grades identified by the required softening point and penetration designation.
Typical specification points
These are enquiry fields, not published lot values. The final specification and test basis must be agreed for each supply.
| Parameter | What to define |
|---|---|
| Grade | Penetration, VG, polymer-modified or oxidized designation. |
| Penetration / viscosity | Required value and test method supplied by the buyer. |
| Softening point | Acceptance limit confirmed in the supplier specification and COA. |
| Ductility and solubility | Included where required by the governing standard. |
| Other performance tests | Flash point, loss on heating, elastic recovery or project-specific tests where applicable. |

Bitumen procurement guide
Bitumen enquiries are matched to the pavement design, asphalt plant or industrial use rather than to a generic product name. Grade, test standard, packing, quantity and delivery conditions are confirmed for the proposed source. Electrical equipment must be selected as part of a system, using load, network, protection, environment and applicable project requirements.
System role and load
The stated applications are Road construction and asphalt production, Highway and airport paving, Waterproofing systems and Approved industrial applications. Provide the system role, connected loads, duty, redundancy, future capacity and interfaces with existing equipment.
Ratings, compatibility and acceptance
Compare proposals against Penetration or viscosity grade, Applicable test standard, Penetration, softening point and ductility requirements, Packing and net weight and Project volume, destination and delivery schedule. Require source-specific drawings, datasheets, protection or coordination information and the test/standard evidence called for by the project.
Installation, protection and support
Confirm enclosure and environmental conditions, cable/termination interfaces, dimensions and weights, transport protection, site access, installation boundaries, testing, commissioning, training, warranty expectations and spare components.
