The grades for PENETRATION GRADE BITUMEN, also known as semi hard black product, are named due to their levels of hardness and consistency that determine their suitability for application in various construction methods and under different environmental and climatic conditions based on penetrability.

Also known as paving grade bitumen, Penetration grades are mainly used in the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt for road base and wearing courses, having considered many factors, including the average temperature of the region, the level of traffic loads, and the type of soil.

Soft bitumen is more suitable for soils with high particle density such as clay, while on the contrary, high penetration graded bitumen works better for soils with low particle density.

Air temperature is another crucial factor in selecting penetration grade. If you are paving a road in a very cold or even hot region, be careful. If the bitumen is too soft or hard in the environment temperature, the possibility of cracking or deformation increases.

Considering the traffic load is also necessary when it comes to penetration grades. Softer grades like 60/70 show more durability exposing to heavy traffic loads. Accordingly, lower grades are used for paving roads with high traffic loads.

Before using penetration grade bitumen, pay attention to test results and other factors such as penetration grade, flash point, softening point, ductility, and specific gravity.
