Bitumen
Paving and industrial bitumen for road contractors, drum fillers and emulsion plants.
Overview
Our bitumen desk supplies penetration and viscosity grades for road construction, together with oxidized grades for roofing and waterproofing. Customers include road contractors, public works projects and blending plants in East Africa, South Asia and the GCC.
Bitumen is shipped in new steel drums, in bitutainers that keep the product heated in transit, or in bulk on bitumen tankers for customers with heated storage. Every lot is tested against the agreed standard before loading.
