Penetration Bitumen 35/50

Penetration Bitumen 35/50 is a standard penetration grade Bitumen usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties.
Paving Bitumen 35/50 is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses

Penetration Bitumen 35/50


Product Overview

Penetration Bitumen 35/50 is a semi-hard paving grade binder designed for demanding road construction and asphalt applications. With a penetration range of 35–50 dmm at 25 °C, this grade provides a balance of hardness and flexibility. It delivers excellent resistance to deformation and softening — especially under moderate to heavy traffic loads.

Because of these properties, Bitumen 35/50 is widely used in base and binder courses for both urban and highway pavements.

Key Properties of Bitumen 35/50

Penetration Grade Bitumen 35/50 combines structural strength with good workability. This combination makes it suitable for layers that must resist heavy traffic and seasonal temperature changes.

Typical Technical Characteristics:

  • Penetration (25 °C): 35–50 dmm

  • Softening Point (Ring & Ball): Approx. 52–62 °C

  • Ductility @ 25 °C: ≥ 50 cm

  • Flash Point: ≥ 230 °C

  • Solubility in Trichloroethylene: ≥ 99%

  • Specific Gravity: Approx. 1.02–1.06

These parameters ensure stability in both manufacturing and service conditions.

Engineering Performance Highlights

From an engineering standpoint, Bitumen 35/50 offers:

  • Balanced stiffness and elasticity for improved pavement behavior

  • High resistance to rutting and deformation under traffic loads

  • Good adhesion with mineral aggregates

  • Stable performance in hot mix asphalt processes

  • Reduced thermal cracking in moderate climates

These traits make Bitumen 35/50 a reliable choice for major road works.
