Bitumen 100/120
Bitumen 100/120 Supplier and Exporter
Bitumen 100/120 is a soft penetration grade bitumen recognized for its flexibility and workability, particularly in cooler or moderate climate conditions. The 100/120 designation reflects the result of a standard penetration test, which measures bitumen hardness at a controlled temperature, placing this grade among the softer options within the paving bitumen range. Bitumen 100/120 specifications and technical properties, including penetration, softening point, and ductility, depend on the applicable standard, so buyers are encouraged to review the relevant test documentation against their project requirements. This grade is used in road construction, highway construction and maintenance, and asphalt pavement production, particularly in hot mix asphalt for base and wearing courses, and may also be relevant to surface dressing applications where technically appropriate. It is often considered for municipal roads and infrastructure projects where flexibility and workability are priorities, subject to climate and traffic conditions. Evaluating the grade against pavement design and project specifications remains an important step before ordering. TurkeyBitumen.com supplies Bitumen 100/120 to international importers, distributors, contractors, and procurement teams, coordinating export orders around project requirements and technical documentation. Buyers are welcome to reach out for further details and a quotation.

Bitumen 100/120 is a soft penetration grade bitumen known for its flexibility and workability. It is commonly used in road paving projects, particularly in moderate to colder climate conditions.
The figures come from a standard penetration test that measures bitumen hardness under controlled conditions. A 100/120 result indicates a softer, more flexible bitumen compared with harder grades such as 60/70 or 80/100.
Bitumen 100/120 is typically used in road construction, highway construction and maintenance, and asphalt pavement production, particularly for hot mix asphalt in base and wearing courses on municipal roads.
Key parameters generally include penetration value, softening point, ductility, and flash point. These vary by applicable standard, so buyers should confirm exact figures through the supplier's test certificate for their order.
Bitumen 100/120 may be suitable for road and highway construction, particularly in moderate to colder climates or lower-traffic conditions where flexibility is beneficial, subject to project-specific design requirements.
Yes, Bitumen 100/120 can be used in hot mix asphalt production for base and wearing courses, and it may also be considered for surface dressing where technically appropriate.
Compared with harder grades such as 60/70 or 80/100, Bitumen 100/120 is softer and more flexible, which can make it more suitable for cooler climates or applications prioritizing workability.
