BlackRock Bitumen: Penetration Grade Bitumen 35/50
BlackRock Bitumen proudly offers Penetration Grade Bitumen 35/50, a premium quality product meticulously sourced and rigorously tested to meet the demands of diverse construction projects worldwide. Originating from the UAE, our 35/50 bitumen exhibits excellent plasticity and viscosity, ensuring superior performance in road construction and other applications.
The designation “35/50” refers to the penetration grade of the bitumen, indicating its hardness. This grade signifies that under specific test conditions, a standard needle will penetrate the bitumen to a depth of between 3.5 and 5.0 millimeters. This characteristic makes our 35/50 bitumen particularly suitable for:
Road Construction: Ideal for base courses and wearing courses in moderate to warm climatic conditions, providing a balance of flexibility and stability.
Asphalt Mixes: Ensures excellent cohesion and adhesion within asphalt mixtures, contributing to durable and crack-resistant pavements.
Other Applications: Can be utilized in various waterproofing and sealing applications where a medium-hard bitumen is required.

Security measures during handling and transport
Storage security: Always store bitumen in well-ventilated and temperature-controlled tanks to prevent falls and reduce the risk of fire hazards.
Proper marking and PPE use: Make sure all storage units and containers are clearly marked. Workers should wear protective equipment such as gloves, safety glasses, and flame-resistant clothing when handling the hot bitumen.
Transport guidelines: Vehicles used for the transport of bitumen must follow the safety rules. Make sure the spill container systems are in place and materials have the safety data sheet (MSDS).
Insurance and contingency plan: Comprehensive insurance coverage for logistics and a contingency plan for accidents or leaks have been prepared.
Fire prevention: Keep bitumen away from ignition sources. The Flashpoint of the Penetration Bitumen (measured using the Cleveland Open Cup method) is usually above 230 ° C.
Penetration Grade Bitumen
Penetration Grade Bitumen is classified by a needle penetration test, indicating its hardness.
Viscosity Grade Bitumen
Classified by viscosity at high temperatures, indicating resistance to flow.
Australian Standards
Specifications and guidelines from Standards Australia for materials and construction practices.
CutBack Bitumen
Bitumen mixed with petroleum solvents to lower viscosity for easier use, especially in cold conditions.
