Overview

Maximum elasticity and durability

Grade E-120 is a SBS-modified bitumen made by blending penetration-grade bitumen with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) elastomer. Its penetration is 30 to 60 (0.1 mm at 25°C) and its softening point is 75–95°C.

The highest SBS content in the range gives exceptional flexibility, elasticity and cracking resistance, while the high softening point holds the structure in extreme heat.

Black Rock Bitumen supplies Grade E-120 from Dubai to contractors, EPC companies and asphalt producers across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

  • Highest elastic recovery in the E series
  • High softening point for extreme heat
  • Excellent resistance to cracking
  • Suited to airport runways and expressways
  • Consistent quality in every batch
