Description of Oxidized Bitumen 115/15
A semi-solid oxidised level of pure petroleum bitumen called oxidised bitumen 115/15 is included in the hydrocarbons that are polycyclic aromatic and oxidised bitumen categories. It melts very steadily and has a high melting point, high flash point, and high softening point. It is produced using a unique method which includes NON-OXIDATION but the Remodelling of suction bottoms at 230 C heat, producing a material with a significantly greater penetration index. The establishment of international surveyors to examine the quality and quantity of the goods during transferring to the vessel along with monitoring the manufacturing process by QC by batch test report before shipment allows Petro Bitumen Company to guarantee the quality of oxidised bitumen 115/15.
Uses and Applications of Oxidized Bitumen 115/15
Oxidised bitumen 115/15 is used as a base material for bitumen coat, chemicals, fuel, paints, lacquers, finishes, paper-pulp-board, textile processing, construction of roads, crack sealing, development industries, coating and protecting buildings, insulating material and isolation bitumen membrane that’s filled sheet, adhesives, construction materials additive, soot-binding, coating, insulating and contaminating agent, and the manufacture of rubber and plastic products. In addition, it is utilised in the production of bitumen paint, oil well drill fluid, roofing manufacturing facilities to create shingles, roll goods, and built-up roofing felts, lining public works structures, electrical laminate adhesives, the base for synthetic turf, and asphalt-based paints for the protection of metals against corrosion. Surfaces must be dry, clean, and devoid of loose particles, curing agents, imperfections, and moisture before applying them.
Oxidised bitumen 115/15 Handling, Packaging and Storage
Please refer to the MSDS. Oxidised bitumen 115/15 has a 10-year shelf life with repeated heating and cooling. It is preferable to keep bitumen 115/15 covered and out of the weather and sunlight, either by mopping or the pour-and-roll technique. Ought to be warmed to a temperature of 180 to 200. It is offered in craft bags, drums, drums in bulk, and meltable bags. The majority of this sort of bitumen 115/15 is shipped as a solid and heated on-site in a kettle.
