Description of Oxidized Bitumen 115/15 – Iran Bitumen Supply │ IBITMCO
Oxidized Bitumen 115/15 is a high‑performance industrial bitumen produced by blowing hot air through Bitumen Penetration Grade 60/70. This controlled oxidation process increases the bitumen’s softening point and decreases its penetration value, resulting in a semi‑solid, highly stable, and durable oxidized bitumen suitable for a wide range of industrial and construction applications. At Iran Bitumen Supply │ IBITMCO, Oxidized Bitumen 115/15 is manufactured through a specialized oxidation and modification process at approximately 230°C, transforming vacuum bottom feedstock into a product with a significantly higher penetration index. This grade is one of the most widely used oxidized bitumen types, and a major portion of our production capacity is dedicated to supplying Bitumen 115/15.
Oxidized Bitumen 115/15 exhibits:
- ✔ High softening point
- ✔ High flash point
- ✔ Excellent thermal stability
- ✔ Superior adhesion and waterproofing properties
- ✔ Solid consistency at ambient temperatures
These characteristics make it ideal for industrial applications requiring long‑lasting performance and resistance to heat, aging, and deformation.

Application Guidelines for Oxidized Bitumen 115/15
To ensure proper flow and viscosity, Bitumen 115/15 must be heated to approximately twice its softening point. Typically:
- ✔ Standard heating temperature: ~230°C
- ✔ If packaged in bitumen bags: an additional ~50°C may be required to melt the packaging
Surface Preparation
Before application, surfaces must be:
- ✔ Clean
- ✔ Dry
- ✔ Free of dust, loose particles, curing compounds, and irregularities
Failure to prepare the surface properly may reduce adhesion and performance.
Packaging Options for Oxidized Bitumen 115/15
At Iran Bitumen Supply │ IBITMCO, Oxidized Bitumen 115/15 is available in:
- ✔ Carton boxes
- ✔ PP bags
- ✔ Solid blocks for melting on‑site
These packaging formats ensure safe handling, easy transportation, and efficient melting at the job site.
