Features of Bitumen Penetration Grade 200/300 – Iran Bitumen Supply │ IBITMCO
Bitumen Penetration Grade 200/300 is a widely used paving‑grade bitumen ideal for road construction, asphalt production, and high‑performance pavement applications. This grade is primarily utilized in the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt (HMA) for base layers and wearing courses, offering excellent binding and durability. At Iran Bitumen Supply │ IBITMCO, our Penetration Grade 200/300 is a petroleum‑based bitumen produced through the fractional and vacuum distillation of crude oil. The feedstock used is high‑quality vacuum residue, ensuring consistent performance and compliance with international standards. Penetration grade bitumen is classified based on penetration value and softening point, which determine its behavior under varying temperatures. Thanks to its thermoplastic properties, this bitumen softens at high temperatures and hardens at lower temperatures—an essential characteristic for evaluating adhesion, rheology, durability, and application performance. As a paving‑grade binder, Bitumen 200/300 plays a crucial role in binding aggregates, enhancing cohesion, and improving the stability of asphalt mixtures.
Applications of Bitumen Penetration Grade 200/300
Bitumen 200/300 supplied by Iran Bitumen Supply │ IBITMCO is suitable for Road construction and highway surfacing, Production of hot mix asphalt (HMA), Base and wearing course layers, Pavements requiring superior flexibility and performance in colder climates. Its softer consistency makes it especially suitable for regions with low temperatures, where flexibility and crack resistance are essential.
