Oxidized bitumen, also known as blown or air-blown bitumen or blown asphalt, is a type of bitumen modified by blowing air through it at elevated temperatures. This process increases its viscosity and softening point, making it suitable for various applications. Petro Tar Co.’s Produced oxidized bitumen (Blown asphalt) is commonly used in the construction, waterproofing, Construction, Roofing, Flooring, Coating, Sealant, Paint, Tile Carpet and Textile and Automotive industry due to its excellent waterproofing and adhesive properties.
OXIDIZED BITUMEN (BLOWN ASPHALT) is produced by either continuous or Staggered Blowing Process. Heated Penetration Grade BITUMEN under controlled environment is blown with air which controls the oil content in the bitumen while it oxidized. Oxidized bitumen becomes rubbery and harder due to the oxidation process. The different oxidized bitumen grades for suited applications produced are designated by two numbers to indicate the mid-points of their softening point and penetration ranges.
