Oxidized Bitumen
Oxidized Bitumen Grades are produced by passing air through the Penetration Grades. This process gives the Bitumen more rubbery properties than its original formula and they are simply harder bitumen. Hard Bitumen under controlled temperature conditions is widely used as an anti-slip layer compound in the piling industry, for the manufacture of roofing felts, the roofing and waterproofing industries, for sound dampening felts and under carriage sealant in the automotive industry, electric cable joint protection, joint filling compound, sealant compound and many others. Also used in sealing saw cuts and joints where expected movements are minimum.
