What is Bitumen 100/120?

Bitumen 100/120 is a penetration grade bitumen with a penetration value ranging from 100 to 120 at 25°C. Sitting within the softer end of the penetration grade spectrum, Bitumen 100/120 offers excellent flexibility and adhesion, making it well-suited for moderate climate road construction and paving applications.

Bitumen 100/120 is commonly used in highway construction, rural road paving, and asphalt mix production where enhanced flexibility is required. Its softer consistency improves workability at lower temperatures while reducing cracking risk under traffic stress. Bitumen 100/120 also suits surface dressing and waterproofing membrane applications effectively.

Blackrock Bitumen supplies high-quality Bitumen 100/120 manufactured to meet international penetration, softening point, and ductility standards. Our Bitumen 100/120 undergoes strict quality testing to ensure consistent performance for contractors and infrastructure projects worldwide. .

    Frequently Asked Questions.

    Grade 100/120 Penetration Bitumen offers reliable durability and consistency, ideal for road construction and paving applications.

    Penetration Grade Bitumen 100/120 is a soft grade bitumen with medium penetration, ideal for road construction and paving applications.

    It is widely used in flexible pavements, asphalt mixes, road maintenance, and waterproofing works requiring moderate hardness.

    Its quality is determined by penetration value, softening point, ductility, and compliance with ASTM or EN standards to ensure performance.

    Its moderate consistency provides good binding with aggregates, flexibility in hot climates, and resistance to cracking under traffic loads.

    Store in a clean, dry, and covered area. Heat carefully during application and avoid prolonged exposure to open air to maintain quality.

    Bitumen 100/120 has a softening point of 38–43°C per ASTM D36 — the lowest range among Black Rock Bitumen's standard penetration grades, reflecting its soft, highly flexible consistency.

    Bitumen 100/120 is softer (penetration 100–120 vs 85–100) with a notably lower softening point (38–43°C vs 46–56°C). This makes 100/120 better suited to cold-climate paving and applications prioritizing flexibility over rutting resistance, while 85/100 handles moderate-to-warm conditions more reliably.

    Bitumen 100/120 is tested to ASTM standards, including ASTM D5 (penetration), ASTM D36 (softening point), ASTM D113 (ductility), ASTM D92 (flash point), and ASTM D2042 (solubility in trichloroethylene), with a minimum flash point of 250°C.
