PENETRATION GRADE
EN 70/100
At Mervina Energy, we offer Bitumen 70/100, a premium grade of bitumen characterized by its softness, with a penetration range of 70 to 100 tenths of a millimeter. This bitumen grade is specifically engineered for use in cooler climates and regions with lighter traffic demands. Bitumen 70/100 excels in flexibility and adhesion, making it an excellent choice for areas prone to temperature fluctuations that can lead to surface cracking and pavement wear.
Why Choose Bitumen 70/100?
Bitumen 70/100 is ideal for applications where surface flexibility and resistance to cracking are crucial. Its refined formulation, derived from the distillation of crude oil, enhances its durability and aging resistance. This grade’s chemical and physical properties make it a superior binder for asphalt, ensuring that paved surfaces remain durable and effective even under challenging conditions.
Key Uses of Bitumen 70/100:
- Residential Roads: Perfect for low-traffic residential streets where flexibility is key to preventing surface damage and ensuring longevity.
- Light Traffic Areas: Suitable for pavements and roads with low to moderate traffic, providing a smooth and durable surface that performs well under lighter load conditions.
- Cold Climate Regions: Designed for regions with colder temperatures, Bitumen 70/100 offers excellent flexibility to handle thermal expansion and contraction, reducing the risk of cracking.
Quality Assurance:
Our Bitumen 70/100 adheres to the European Standard EN 12591, ensuring it meets the highest quality and performance standards. Key quality metrics include:
- Penetration: Ensures the bitumen’s appropriate hardness for various construction applications.
- Softening Point: Indicates the temperature at which the bitumen softens, ensuring reliable performance in high-temperature environments.
- Flash Point: Measures the bitumen’s safety by assessing its volatility and ignition risk.
- Solubility: Ensures the bitumen is free from impurities that could compromise its performance and longevity.
By meeting these stringent standards, Mervina Energy guarantees that our Bitumen 70/100 delivers dependable and consistent results for all your road construction and paving needs.
