What is AR-8000 bitumen?
AR-8000 bitumen is a high viscosity grade within the aged residue classification, offering strong resistance to deformation in hot climates and heavy-traffic conditions. Tested after the rolling thin-film oven process, AR-8000 bitumen provides excellent stability, reduced temperature susceptibility, and dependable performance across demanding road construction applications.
Contractors choose AR-8000 bitumen for state highways, urban roads, and moderate-to-heavy traffic pavements exposed to warm regional temperatures. Its balanced viscosity ensures strong adhesion with aggregates while resisting rutting, making AR-8000 bitumen a reliable choice for durable, long-lasting asphalt surfaces across varied regional climate conditions nationwide.
