Bitumen 80/100
Bitumen 80/100 Supplier and Exporter
Bitumen 80/100 is a softer penetration grade bitumen known for its flexibility and workability in a range of climatic conditions. The 80/100 designation reflects the result of a standard penetration test, which measures bitumen hardness at a controlled temperature, placing this grade among the softer end of commonly used paving bitumen’s. Bitumen 80/100 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 commonly used in road construction, highway construction and maintenance, and asphalt pavement production, particularly in hot mix asphalt for base and wearing courses. Depending on project conditions, it may also be relevant to municipal roads, certain airport pavement applications, and other infrastructure projects where flexibility and workability are priorities. Evaluating the grade against climate, traffic, and pavement design remains an important step for buyers. TurkeyBitumen.com supplies Bitumen 80/100 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 80/100 is a softer penetration grade bitumen known for its flexibility and workability. It is commonly used in road paving projects where a more pliable binder suits the intended climate and traffic conditions.
The figures come from a standard penetration test that measures bitumen hardness under controlled conditions. An 80/100 result indicates a softer material than grades like 60/70, offering greater flexibility at lower temperatures.
Bitumen 80/100 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 and regional 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 80/100 is widely used in road and highway construction, particularly where flexibility is beneficial, such as in cooler climates or lower-traffic conditions, subject to project-specific design requirements.
Yes, Bitumen 80/100 is commonly used in hot mix asphalt production for base and wearing courses, offering the workability needed for efficient mixing, laying, and compaction during paving operations.
Compared with harder grades such as 60/70 or 40/50, Bitumen 80/100 is softer and more flexible, making it suitable for cooler climates or applications where pliability is prioritized over rigidity.
