What is AR-2000 bitumen?
AR-2000 bitumen is a low-to-medium viscosity grade in the aged residue classification, suited for cooler climates and lighter traffic pavements. Tested after the rolling thin-film oven process, AR-2000 bitumen offers excellent workability and flexibility, making it ideal for surface treatments and general road maintenance applications nationwide.
Contractors select AR-2000 bitumen for rural roads, secondary highways, and pavement surface treatments in mild-to-cool regional climates. Its softer consistency allows easy mixing and spraying at lower temperatures, making AR-2000 bitumen a practical, economical choice for chip seals, tack coats, and light-duty paving projects across regions.
