Bitumen 200-300
Bitumen 200/300 is a type of permeable bitumen produced from crude oil. This bitumen has a penetration degree of 200 to 300 mm at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. The soft point of this bitumen is between 34 and 41 degrees Celsius. 200/300 bitumen is used for very cold weather conditions. Due to its insulation and adhesion properties, it is used for projects that require durable paving materials.

Usage of Bitumen 200 - 300
Bitumen 200-300 is used in road construction and hot asphalt production and this bitumen is used in areas with very cold weather. This bitumen has many uses in the construction of roads and highways. In the following, we will discuss the most important use of this bitumen:
- Road construction
- Road maintenance
- Hot asphalt production
- Insulation and coating of surfaces
- Production of building materials
- Construction of highways and busy roads
- Infrastructure projects and airport runways
Characteristics of bitumen
This bitumen is due to its high permeability, which causes the stones to stick together and produce asphalt with high resistance. In addition to high penetration, good adhesion and high reception, it performs better in cold regions. Considering its price, this bitumen offers good quality. Bitumen 200-300 has a long life and is highly resistant to water penetration.
