Supplier of Oxidized Bitumen (Blown Asphalt) From Turkey and Dubai UAE

Description of Oxidized Bitumen (Blown Asphalt)

infrastructure, and industrial sector

Oxidized bitumen, also known as blown asphalt, is produced by passing air through hot bitumen at elevated temperatures. This process alters the molecular structure of the bitumen, resulting in increased hardness, viscosity, and temperature resistance compared to conventional bitumen. Oxidized bitumen is commonly used in roofing, waterproofing, and paving applications due to its improved durability and weather resistance. It’s available in various grades and forms, ranging from soft to hard depending on the extent of the oxidation process.

The most popular grades are; grades 95/25, 85/25, 90/40, and 115/15. We are also capable of producing other grades of Oxidized bitumen upon request by our customers. Oxidized Bitumen high softening temperatures qualify them as the excellent sealant for prevention from bleeding in high-temperature applications. Blown Grade Bitumen shall be broken up into small pieces (for the blown grade in molded cake form) and heated slowly to the application temperature of 220ºC to 230ºC. Oxidized Bitumen is predominantly used in the piling industry as an anti-slip compound for the manufacture of undercarriage sealants in the automobile industry. It is also used as a sealant compound, as a joint filling compound apart from being used in the manufacture of roofing felts and sound dampening felts. Further, Oxidized Bitumen is used in the manufacture of bituminous marine mastic, which is required for the oil and gas pipeline joints. This Oxidized Bitumen is available in different grades like 95/25, 85/25, 75/25, 90/40 and 115/15. Oxidized is also capable of producing other grades of Oxidized Bitumen according to the specifications of individual clients

Usage of Oxidized Bitumen (Blown Bitumen)

Oxidized bitumen, or blown asphalt, finds applications in various industries due to its unique properties. Some common applications include:

Roofing: Blown bitumen is widely used in the roofing industry as a waterproofing material for flat roofs, built-up roofing systems, and shingles. Its increased hardness and temperature resistance make it suitable for protecting buildings against weather elements.

Road Construction: Blown asphalt is utilized in road construction and maintenance for asphalt paving, particularly in areas with high temperatures or heavy traffic loads. Its enhanced viscosity helps improve the durability and stability of asphalt pavements.

Waterproofing: Due to its excellent waterproofing properties, oxidized bitumen is used in the construction of underground structures, such as tunnels, basements, and foundations, to prevent water infiltration.

Paints and Coatings: Blown asphalt is an ingredient in the production of industrial coatings, sealants, and paints. Its high softening point and resistance to weathering make it suitable for protective coatings on steel structures, bridges, and pipelines.

Pipe Coating: Oxidized bitumen is applied as a corrosion-resistant coating on pipelines to protect them from underground moisture, chemicals, and abrasion, extending their service life.

Adhesives and Sealants: Blown asphalt is used in the manufacturing of adhesives and sealants for bonding various materials, including concrete, wood, and metal, in construction and automotive industries.

Overall, oxidized bitumen’s versatility and durability make it a preferred choice for a wide range of applications in construction,
