Bitumen 60/70 — Penetration Grade Asphalt Cement
Drum & Jumbo Bag, FOB Iskenderun
Zumrut International Kimya supplies ASTM D946 / EN 12591 compliant Bitumen Penetration Grade 60/70 to road construction, waterproofing, and industrial buyers worldwide — shipped from our Iskenderun, Turkey terminal and Jebel Ali, UAE hub.
What Is Bitumen 60/70?
Bitumen 60/70 is a medium-hard penetration-grade bitumen produced from vacuum distillation residue of selected crude oils. With a penetration value of 60–70 dmm at 25°C, it strikes the balance between workability and durability that makes it the most widely specified binder for hot-mix asphalt (HMA), road surfacing, and airport runway construction in temperate and moderately hot climates. Zumrut refines and packs Bitumen 60/70 at our Iskenderun facility and re-exports through our Jebel Ali, UAE warehouse for faster delivery across the Gulf, Africa, and South Asia.

HS Code: 2713.20 (Petroleum bitumen)
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Bitumen 60/70 and 80/100?
60/70 is harder (lower penetration, higher softening point) and is preferred in hotter climates and higher-traffic roads, while 80/100 is softer and suits cooler climates and lower-stress pavement layers.
What is the minimum order quantity for Bitumen 60/70?
Standard minimum order is one 20′ FCL (roughly 20 MT in jumbo bags or ~14.4 MT in drums). Larger bulk/vessel orders are arranged on request.
Do you provide FOB or CFR pricing?
Both. We quote FOB Iskenderun as standard and can calculate CFR to your destination port on request — send your port and quantity on WhatsApp for a same-day quote.
Which standards does Zumrut’s Bitumen 60/70 meet?
Our export specification is aligned with ASTM D946 and EN 12591 and can be adjusted to match national standards such as BS or GOST on request.
How is Bitumen 60/70 shipped — drums, jumbo bags, or bulk?
All three. New steel drums (180 kg) and PE-lined jumbo bags (1,000–1,250 kg) are standard for containerized export; bulk vessel and bitutainer shipping is available for larger volumes.
