Bitumen 160/220
Bitumen 160/220 Supplier and Exporter
Bitumen 160/220 is a soft penetration grade bitumen positioned at the flexible end of the paving bitumen range. The 160/220 designation reflects the result of a standard penetration test, which measures bitumen hardness at a controlled temperature, and grades in this range are generally associated with high flexibility and workability compared with harder, more common grades. Bitumen 160/220 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, and may also be relevant to surface dressing and pavement maintenance applications where a softer binder is required. Depending on climate and traffic conditions, it can be considered for infrastructure projects where flexibility is a priority, though suitability should always be assessed against the specific project’s design requirements. TurkeyBitumen.com supplies Bitumen 160/220 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 160/220 is a soft penetration grade bitumen known for its high flexibility and workability. It is used in road paving and infrastructure applications where a softer binder is required.
The figures come from a standard penetration test that measures bitumen hardness under controlled conditions. A 160/220 result indicates a considerably softer bitumen than grades such as 60/70 or 80/100.
Bitumen 160/220 is typically used in road construction, highway construction and maintenance, and asphalt pavement production, and may also be applied in surface dressing and pavement maintenance work.
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 160/220 may be considered for road construction in colder or specific climate conditions where a softer, more flexible binder is beneficial, subject to the applicable project specifications and design.
Yes, Bitumen 160/220 can be used in asphalt pavement production and hot mix asphalt applications where flexibility is prioritized, particularly for maintenance and surface dressing work.
Compared with harder grades such as 60/70 or 100/120, Bitumen 160/220 is significantly softer and more flexible, making it suitable for different climate and application requirements depending on the project.
