    What is Bitumen 105/35?

    Bitumen 105/35 is the premium flexible grade within the 105-series, combining the ultra-high softening point of 105–115°C with a moderate penetration of 30–40 dmm.

    This is an exceptionally demanding specification to achieve: most oxidized bitumens at 105°C+ softening point exhibit very low penetration (10–20 dmm). The 105/35 grade is produced through a specialised air-blowing process that achieves the high softening point while retaining significantly higher flexibility than typical 105-series products. 

    This unique combination makes Bitumen 105/35 the preferred choice for industrial membrane manufacturers who need a base bitumen that delivers the highest available softening point while maintaining enough flexibility for membrane processing, handling, and performance at low temperatures.

    It is also used in specialist heavy-duty waterproofing systems for industrial structures where both extreme heat and structural movement resistance are simultaneously required.

      Frequently Asked Questions.

      Oxidized Bitumen 105/35 offering superior strength, durability, and resistance for heavy-duty roads and industrial applications.

      Oxidized Bitumen 105/35 is a high-softening point bitumen modified by air oxidation, offering superior durability for heavy-duty applications.

      What are its primary applications?

       It’s ideal for roofing, waterproofing membranes, and industrial coatings where high thermal resistance and long-term performance are required.

      Unlike standard penetration-grade bitumen, oxidized bitumen has higher softening points and enhanced stiffness, making it more resistant to heat and deformation.

      Store in dry, covered areas above 20°C, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Heat carefully during application to prevent degradation.

      Our premium-grade 105/35 offers consistent quality, excellent thermal stability, and reliable performance for demanding infrastructure projects worldwide.

      Production line temperatures of 185–215°C are typical. The moderate penetration of 30–40 dmm provides good melt flow and impregnation characteristics at these temperatures.

      Yes. With appropriate tackifier modification, it can be formulated into self-adhesive membranes, particularly for cold-applied premium waterproofing systems.

      Yes. We supply to membrane manufacturers in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia.
