oxidized bitumen 85/35
General description of blown asphalt 85/35
Blown asphalt 85/35 is Semi Solid grade of pure petroleum bitumen manufactured by air-blowing through an asphalt flux. Special physical properties of its grade can be used in different applications in the construction business. Blown asphalt 85/35 is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by blowing asphalt 60/70 by very hot air. The numbers relate to the midpoint of the material’s softening point and penetration respectively. The softening point value is the degrees Centigrade measured by the Ring and Ball method as determined by ASTM D36. The penetration value is in 1/10 mm as determined by IP49 or ASTM -D5.
BITUMENSHOP Company guaranty the quality of BITUMENSHOP Blown asphalt 85/35 with the arrangement of the international inspector to check quality and quantity of the asphalt 85/35 during the loading to the vessel and controlling the production by QC by batch test report before shipping. BITUMENSHOP Company guarantees the quality to meet with ASTM.
Uses of blown asphalt 85/35
Blown asphalt 85/35 uses in the chemical, fuel, paints, lacquers, varnishes, paper-pulp-board, textile processing, road construction, pavement ,crack seal and repairmen, civil works, roofing, construction industries; sealing and insulating buildings, adhesive, construction materials additive, dust-binding, insulating and impregnating agent, make rubber and plastic products. The asphalt 85/35 products are for paving. also used in asphalt-based paints for corrosion protection of metals, in lining public works structures, adhesives in electrical laminates, base for synthetic turf; typical uses for asphalt 85/35 used also for water-proof application and corrosion resistance for pipe coating, Portland cement pavement, hydraulic applications, paint manufacturing, caulking, mastics, and damp proofing. asphalt 85/35 is using insulation and isolation bitumen membrane sheet. Also, Car undercoating Automobile industry is especially required for Blown Asphalt. Vehicle undercoating material is based on Bitumen. Bitumen provides excellent waterproof, dust proof and noise proof for automobile undercoating.
Application of blown asphalt 85/35
The asphalt 85/35 should be heated double temperature against the softening point to be able to have flow and viscosity. To use asphalt 85/35, surfaces must be dry, clean and free of loose particles, form-work, curing products, irregularities, slurry, etc.
Storage/handling of blown asphalt 85/35
The validity of asphalt 85/35 is 10 years with multi-time heating and cooling, please refers to MSDS.
Packing of blown asphalt 85/35
Various pickings are available for customer’s purpose and conveniences. BITUMENSHOP Co is the manufacturer of blown asphalt 85/35 in various packing including Kraft bag, meltable plastic bag, drum, and bulk blown asphalt 85/35 from penetration grade bitumen, which is blown by hot air in a controlled process until the desired specification is reached. BITUMENSHOP Blown asphalt 85/35 can be supplied in any grade and are designated by two numbers to indicate the softening point and penetration ranges. The asphalt grade 85/35 means the softening point is 85°c and penetration is 35 desi millimeter is produced in compliance and conformity with ASTM standard and meets the following specification.
