Penetration Grade Bitumen ( like Bitumen 60-70) is classified using penetration property. It is a kind of bitumen, which is provided during the process of oxidation of vacuum bottom (the bitumen Definition: production feed-stock that derives from distillation tower residue in vacuum oil refineries) at bitumen production units in a manner that its penetration point (kind of test to indicate the hardness of bitumen) becomes between 60/70.
Bitumen 60/70 mainly uses in construction. Furthermore, it serves in paving and roofing apples. 85% of bitumen uses in the asphalt industry. 10% used in roofing, because its waterproofing qualities help make roofs function well. 5% used for sealing and insulating purposes in building materials such as carpet tile. In addition, it uses in soundproofing, explosives, fence post coating, mildew protection, a binder in briquettes, a backing to mirrors, shoe soles, and soil stabilization.
