About Bitumen
Bitumen is a viscous petroleum product obtained from crude oil refining, primarily used as a binder in asphalt concrete for road construction and maintenance. It also serves applications in waterproofing, roofing, and industrial coatings. International trade focuses on penetration-grade bitumen (60/70, 80/100, 120/150), with viscosity grades measured in tenths of millimeters. Major producers include Venezuela, Iran, Iraq, and Russia, with significant exports from the Middle East and former Soviet states. Buyers should verify storage temperature stability and aging characteristics, as bitumen's performance varies with climate conditions and application requirements; procurement timing often aligns with construction seasons in target markets.
