Grade E-120 for highways and runways. Exported from Dubai.
The premium SBS-modified grade, with the highest elastic recovery and softening point in the E series. For highways, expressways and runways.
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
