BituPlus Bitumen Grade 60/90 falls within the BND (road bitumen) and BN (petroleum bitumen) classifications. BND stands for “road bitumen,” while the numbers/fractions such as 40/60, 60/90, etc., indicate the permissible limits for grade indices related to the penetration depth of a standard needle at 25°C. This measurement indirectly characterizes the viscosity of bitumen. Bitumen of the BND grade demonstrates strong adhesion to various stone materials and maintains high flexibility at low temperatures, making it resistant to climatic influences. The specifications for viscous petroleum bitumen adhere to the standard GOST 22245-90.
BituPlus Bitumen Grade 60/90 is a standard penetration grade bitumen primarily used as a paving bitumen suitable for road construction and various industrial applications. This grade of bitumen is mainly employed for hot mix applications, especially in moderate climates.
