Overview

A balanced binder for general road work

Bitumen C240 is an Australian-standard residual bitumen graded by viscosity at 60°C under AS 2008. The class number is the nominal viscosity in pascal-seconds (C240 = about 240 Pa·s).

Its mid-range viscosity balances workability during paving with resistance to rutting in service, which makes it a common choice for general pavement construction.

Black Rock Bitumen supplies Bitumen C240 from Dubai to contractors, EPC companies and asphalt producers across Africa, Asia, Oceania and the Middle East.

  • Balanced viscosity for paving and service life
  • Good adhesion to aggregate
  • Suited to a wide range of road projects
  • Good resistance to cracking and rutting
  • Consistent quality in every batch
