Overview

Hard, stiff and built for heat

Bitumen 20/30 is a hard grade with a low penetration range, giving high stiffness and heat resistance. It suits structural applications where strength matters more than flexibility.

Its high softening point, low temperature susceptibility and resistance to permanent deformation keep pavements stable under heavy loads in extreme heat.

Black Rock Bitumen supplies EN-certified 20/30 from Dubai to contractors and EPC companies across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

  • High softening point
  • Low temperature susceptibility
  • Strong resistance to permanent deformation under heavy loads
  • Durability in extreme heat
  • Long-term pavement stability
