Iranian Bitumen for Road and Industrial Applications
This category presents bitumen families for road construction, waterproofing and industrial use. As the portfolio develops, penetration, viscosity, oxidized, emulsion and other verified products can be organised here. Current supply details are available on the Iranian bitumen product page.
Comparison of Common Bitumen Families
Family | Basis of classification | Typical applications | Important parameters |
|---|---|---|---|
Penetration grade | Penetration range such as 60/70 or 80/100 | Asphalt and pavement production | Penetration, softening point, ductility and loss on heating |
Viscosity grade | Classification by viscosity | Mix design and road projects | Viscosity, flash point and governing standard |
Oxidized bitumen | Air-blowing process and higher softening point | Waterproofing and industrial uses | Softening point and penetration for the application |
Bitumen emulsion | Bitumen dispersed in water with an encoder | Surface treatment and selected cold applications | Emulsion type, breaking time and bitumen residue |
Standard, Testing and Packing
The grade must be matched to the contract standard and cargo test results. Generic wording such as “export bitumen” does not replace penetration, softening point, viscosity and other acceptance limits. Packing may include bulk, drums or big bags, but suitability depends on the grade, handling temperature and logistics route.
Bitumen forms part of the petroleum products category. For an accurate review, provide the grade or standard, application, quantity, packing, destination and Incoterm through the Coolak sourcing form.
