Alkenza supplies oxidized bitumen 90/15 for waterproofing, roofing, and industrial insulation applications. Oxidized bitumen is produced by air-blowing conventional bitumen, creating superior hardness and thermal stability for demanding industrial environments. Available in kraft bags, steel drums, and jumbo bags with FOB and CIF delivery worldwide.
Oxidized bitumen 90/15 is a blown bitumen produced by passing controlled air through hot conventional bitumen in a blowing still. This oxidation process increases the bitumen molecular weight and creates a three-dimensional cross-linked structure, resulting in significantly higher softening point, lower penetration, and superior thermal stability compared to straight-run bitumen.
The designation 90/15 refers to a softening point of approximately 85-95 degrees Celsius and penetration at 25 degrees Celsius between 15-20 units (0.1mm). This hard, high-melting-point characteristic makes oxidized bitumen 90/15 ideal for industrial applications where resistance to elevated temperatures and mechanical stress is essential.
Oxidized bitumen 90/15 is primarily used in waterproofing membranes, roofing systems, pipe coatings, industrial insulation, and sound-deadening applications. Its excellent adhesion to various substrates and moisture resistance make it the preferred choice for long-term industrial protection systems.
Industrial waterproofing membranes and damp-proof courses.
