    What is Bitumen 200/300?

    Bitumen 85/35 combines a demanding softening point specification (85–95°C) with a moderate penetration range (30–40 dmm) to deliver a product that is both heat-stable and sufficiently flexible for modern torch-applied roofing membrane systems.

    This grade is particularly favoured in hot and tropical climates where flat-roof surface temperatures regularly exceed 70°C, yet the membrane must also resist cold-weather cracking during installation or in variable-climate markets. 

    The 85/35 designation makes it the preferred oxidized bitumen base for premium APP-modified torch-on membranes that are applied in the Gulf, South Asia, and North Africa. Bridge deck waterproofing systems, which must endure both thermal cycling and mechanical loading from traffic, also frequently specify this grade as the bonding bitumen layer between the concrete deck and asphalt surfacing. Our UAE supply chain ensures globally consistent quality, rapid dispatch, and full technical documentation.

    Advantages of Bitumen 85/35

    Softening point of 85–95°C provides excellent heat stability on flat and low-pitch roofs in tropical and arid climates
    Penetration of 30–40 dmm delivers balanced flexibility resists cold cracking without compromising heat resistance
    Excellent compatibility with APP (atactic polypropylene) modifiers for polymer-modified membrane production
    Strong self-adhesion and bonding to concrete, steel, and mineral substrates when torch-applied at correct temperature

    Advantages of Bitumen 200/300

    EN 12591 (European Standard) classifies penetration grade bitumen by its penetration value and softening point range. Black Rock Bitumen supplies all major EN grades, tested and certified for export from our Dubai logistics hub.

    Bitumen 20/30

    Hard binder with low penetration & high softening point. Used in high-stress pavements, industrial roads, and airport runways in hot climates. Provides rut resistance under extreme thermal and mechanical stress.

    Bitumen 30/45

    Firm, high-softening-point binder with a penetration of 30–45 (0.1mm at 25°C). Ideal for highways, expressways, and heavily trafficked urban roads in hot climates. Delivers consistent deformation resistance under sustained axle loads.

    Bitumen 35/50

    A firm, durable grade widely used in base course and binder course layers across GCC, African, South American and South Asian road infrastructure projects. Performs reliably under moderate-to-heavy traffic volumes and varying climate conditions.

    Bitumen 40/60

    Semi-hard grade with balanced softening point, suited for urban road construction where surface temperatures exceed 50°C. Delivers strong adhesion to aggregate and resists permanent deformation.

    Bitumen 50/70

    One of the most commonly specified grades globally. Suitable for wearing course and binder course in temperate to hot climates. Widely used in road construction across the UAE, East Africa, and Southeast Asia.

    Bitumen 70/100

    A medium-grade binder offering a balance between stiffness and flexibility. Preferred for roads with moderate traffic and climate variability — including transitional regions in Central Asia and parts of Africa.
