Bitumen 115/15 for sealing and insulation. Exported from Dubai.
A hard air-blown bitumen with a high softening point and low penetration. For battery and electrical sealing, expansion joints, pipe coating and waterproofing in hot environments.
Hard, stable and heat resistant
Bitumen 115/15 is a hard oxidized bitumen made by blowing air through straight-run bitumen at controlled temperature. The grade name gives the softening point (115°C) and penetration (15 dmm).
Its rigid structure and low temperature susceptibility keep it stable under heat and mechanical stress, where softer oxidized grades would flow.
Black Rock Bitumen supplies Bitumen 115/15 from Dubai to manufacturers, contractors and EPC companies across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
- High softening point
- Low penetration and rigid structure
- Resistance to flow and deformation under heat
- Suited to sealing, insulation and coating use
- Consistent quality in every batch
