BS group Bitumen Grade 10/20 is a type of penetration grade bitumen that is produced by the non-destructive refining of crude oil during petroleum refining.
Bitumen 10/20 is heavy traffic grade which ensures long-term savings as it allows for a thinner pavement design, which uses up to 30% less asphalt than traditional designs, while ensuring extended pavement life. Its penetration grade is between 10 to 20 and its softening point is between 58 to 66°C. It is a commonly used paving grade bitumen as it is suitable for road constructions and repairs and also for the production of asphalt pavements. This grade of bitumen is also mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalts.
