Properties & Benefits
Oxidized bitumen, also called industrial bitumen, blown bitumen or blown asphalt, is a modified form of bitumen produced by blowing hot air through penetration grade bitumen at elevated temperatures.
Following are the properties of oxidized bitumen:
Low Penetration, High Softening Temperature
Oxidized bitumen is harder and less sticky, with a lower penetration and higher softening point, making it ideal for high-temperature applications.
Increased Viscosity and Brittleness
The oxidation process increases the viscosity and makes it more viscous and less penetrative.
Chemical Stability
The oxidation process enhances the chemical stability of bitumen and reduces its susceptibility to environmental degradation.
Superior Water Resistance
Oxidized bitumen is completely water resistant and highly flexible, making it ideal for waterproofing applications in construction.
Durability and Aging Resistance
Oxidized bitumen is more durable and resistant to weathering and aging, which helps maintain its properties over time, especially in harsh environmental conditions.
High Flash Point
Oxidized bitumen has a high flash point, typically above 250°C, making it safer to handle and store.
Applications
processed oxidized bitumen is suitable for a wide variety of industrial and construction applications due to its enhanced durability, water resistance, and high softening point.
Following are the applications of oxidized bitumen:
Manufacturing roofing membranes, shingles, and waterproofing systems for both residential and industrial construction projects
Binder in asphalt mixes for road surfaces, improving pavement durability, resistance to rutting, and fatigue cracking
Protective coating and water proofing of hydraulic structures, pipelines and joints, preventing corrosion and extending the lifespan of the infrastructure
Protective coating for flooring and for repairing parquet, especially in environments exposed to chemicals or moisture, such as chemical plants or factories
Industrial coatings, mastics, and adhesives, providing chemical resistance, flexibility, and durability
As an insulator and sealant in electrical junction boxes, cables, and wires due to its high dielectric strength and thermal stability
