What Is Grade E-120 Bitumen?

Grade E-120 is the premium tier of the Elastomeric Thermoplastic family, formulated with SBS polymer for exceptional flexibility, elasticity, and resistance to cracking. Its high softening point (75–95°C) and penetration range of 30–60 (0.1mm) reflect a binder built to hold its structure under extreme heat while staying flexible in the cold.

A minimum elastic recovery of 70% at 25°C — the highest in the E-series — combined with force ductility testing at 4°C, is what qualifies E-120 for the most demanding infrastructure: it must resist both rutting under sustained heavy loads and low-temperature cracking simultaneously.

This classification — governed by ASTM D5, D36, D6084, and D113 test methods — enables engineers and procurement teams to specify an exact elastomeric binder for highways, expressways, airport runways, and pavements requiring maximum flexibility with structural durability.

    Frequently Asked Questions.

    Elastomeric Thermoplastic (E-120 Grade) is a high-performance bitumen modified with elastomeric polymers to provide exceptional flexibility.

    E-120 is a high-performance elastomeric-modified bitumen designed to combine flexibility, elasticity, and strength for superior pavement performance.

    What are the main advantages of E-120 grade bitumen?

    It offers excellent resistance to cracking, fatigue, and deformation, while maintaining flexibility under heavy traffic and extreme temperature changes.

    E-120 is ideal for highways, expressways, airport runways, and pavements that require high flexibility along with structural durability.

    The elastomeric modification allows E-120 to remain flexible at low temperatures while resisting rutting and deformation at high temperatures.

    E-120 provides a balance of strength and elasticity, reduces maintenance needs, and ensures longer-lasting, crack-resistant pavements under demanding conditions.
