Bitumen 60/70 – Product Overview by Pars Bitumen

 

Description of Bitumen 60/70: 

Bitumen 60/70 is one of the most widely used penetration grade bitumen types in road construction and asphalt paving industries. Known for its excellent binding strength, durability, and resistance to deformation, Bitumen 60/70 is the standard choice for hot climates and heavy traffic roads. Pars Bitumen, a leading manufacturer and supplier of petroleum-grade bitumen from Iran, provides premium quality Bitumen 60/70 with guaranteed performance and global export support.

 

 

What is Bitumen 60/70?

Bitumen 60/70 is a penetration grade bitumen obtained from the vacuum distillation of crude oil. The penetration grade 60/70 indicates its hardness and viscosity—meaning the penetration value ranges between 60 to 70 mm under standard testing conditions.

This makes it suitable for temperate climates where asphalt pavements must withstand both heat and mechanical stress.
