      Frequently Asked Questions.

      Our 160/220 penetration grade bitumen is a soft paving binder designed for flexibility and crack resistance in cold and temperate climates.

      160/220 bitumen is a penetration grade paving bitumen with a penetration value between 160 and 220 (0.1 mm at 25°C), indicating a soft binder.

      2. Where is 160/220 bitumen commonly used?

      It is widely used in:

      • Road construction in cold and temperate climates
      • Surface dressing
      • Low to medium traffic pavements
      • Asphalt mixes requiring flexibility

      160/220 is softer and more flexible, offering better resistance to cracking in low-temperature conditions.

      • Excellent flexibility
      • Improved low-temperature cracking resistance
      • Easy workability
      • Suitable for cooler climates

      Store in heated tanks at controlled temperatures, avoid overheating, and maintain clean handling practices to preserve binder quality.
