What is AR-16000 bitumen?
AR-16000 bitumen is the highest viscosity grade in the aged residue classification, engineered for extreme durability under heavy traffic and high heat. Produced by testing residue after the rolling thin-film oven process, AR-16000 bitumen delivers superior resistance to rutting, deformation, and softening in demanding pavement conditions.
Engineers specify AR-16000 bitumen for airport runways, major highways, and industrial pavements that face intense loads and scorching temperatures. Its thick, stable consistency resists cracking and rutting even during peak summer heat, making AR-16000 bitumen the preferred binder for infrastructure projects requiring long-term strength and stability.
