Oxidized Bitumen 115/15

 

Oxidized Bitumen 115/15 Definition

Oxidized bitumen 115/15 is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by blowing bitumen 60/70 by hot air. The most oxidized bitumen usable grade is bitumen 115/15 and 70% of our capacity is dedicated to this grade. bitumen 115/15 is a semi-solid oxidized grade of pure petroleum bitumen categorized in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and oxidized bitumen normally used for different purposes in the construction business. ZUMRUT 115/115 has high softening point, high flash point and it is highly stable during melting.

ZUMRUT 115/15 is a bituminous product manufactured by the special process of NON-OXIDATION but MODIFICATION of VACUUM BOTTOMS at 230 C temperature, resulting in a material of a much higher penetration index. This product, utilized in the industrial sector, exhibits predominantly “solid” characteristics at ambient temperatures and provides SUPERIOR adhesive and waterproofing qualities when applied hot and allowed to cool than Oxidized Bitumen.

Blown Asphalt 115/15 Storage/handling

Proper storage and handling of Blown Asphalt 115/15 are crucial to maintain its quality and ensure safety. Here are some guidelines:

  • Storage Conditions: Store in a dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination and evaporation.
  • Temperature: Maintain storage temperatures within the recommended range to prevent excessive hardening or softening. Consult the manufacturer’s guidelines for specific temperature recommendations.
  • Handling Precautions: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and safety goggles, when handling Blown Asphaltum 115/15 to prevent skin contact and eye irritation. Avoid breathing vapors by working in well-ventilated areas or wearing respiratory protection if necessary.
  • Fire Safety: Exercise caution to prevent ignition of the material. Keep away from sources of ignition and follow appropriate fire safety measures in storage areas.
  • Spill Cleanup: In case of spills, promptly contain the material to prevent environmental contamination. Use absorbent materials to clean up spills and dispose of waste according to local regulations.
  • Compatibility: Store Blown Asphaltum 115/15 away from incompatible materials, such as strong oxidizers, to prevent reactions or contamination.

Technical Advantages of Blown Asphalt 115/15

Blown Asphalt 115/15 offers several technical advantages over conventional bitumen:

  • Enhanced Durability: Its higher softening point and lower penetration make it more resistant to deformation under high temperatures, leading to improved durability in road construction and roofing applications.
  • Improved Weather Resistance: Blown Asphalt 115/15 exhibits greater resistance to weathering, including UV radiation and moisture, making it suitable for outdoor applications such as road surfaces and waterproofing.
  • Reduced Oxidation: The blowing process alters the molecular structure of the asphalt, reducing its susceptibility to oxidation and extending its service life in various applications.
  • Better Adhesion: Blown Asphalt 115/15 tends to have better adhesion properties compared to unmodified bitumen, making it effective for bonding with aggregates in asphalt mixes and adhering to various substrates in roofing and waterproofing systems.
  • Higher Stability: Its increased viscosity and stiffness contribute to improved stability and deformation resistance in pavement applications, reducing rutting and cracking over time.
  • Versatility: Blown Asphalt 115/15 can be tailored to meet specific performance requirements by adjusting the blowing process parameters, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in construction, industrial coatings, and waterproofing.
