Bitumen 115/15

Bitumen 115/15 Exporter and Supplier

Oxidized Bitumen 115/15 is a blown bitumen produced through a controlled oxidation process applied to base bitumen, resulting in characteristics distinct from conventional penetration grade bitumen. This grade is generally associated with a higher softening point, useful thermal stability, and consistency suited to demanding industrial environments, with moisture and weathering resistance considered relevant where the product’s properties meet the project’s technical requirements. It is important to note that 115/15 is an oxidized bitumen grade designation and should not be interpreted as a penetration range or confused with conventional penetration grade classifications. Bitumen 115/15 specifications and technical properties, including softening point, penetration, and other quality parameters, depend on the applicable product standard, buyer requirements, and supplier test documentation.
