Oxidized Bitumen 110/30
Description of Oxidized Bitumen 110/30
Oxidized Bitumen 110/30 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. The different grades for suited applications produced are designated by two numbers to indicate the mid-points of their softening point and penetration ranges.
Oxidized Bitumen 110/30 is the semi-solid oxidized grade of pure petroleum bitumen categorized in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons is normally used for different purposes in the construction business.
Oxidized Bitumen 110/30 is the suitable grade of oxidized asphalt to use as bonding compounds as hot melt adhesive at an application rate of approximately 1 Kg/m3 to bond the preformed sheets together and to structure which is made by blowing bitumen 60/70 by very hot air.

Uses of Oxidized Bitumen 110/30
Oxidized Bitumen 110/30 is widely used as an anti-slip layer compound in the piling industry, for the manufacture of roofing felts, for sound dampening felts and under carriage sealant in the automobile industry, electric cable joint protection, joint filling compound, sealant compound and many others.
It’s using as raw material for Bitumen coat, roofing, insulation also in Isolation bitumen membrane sheet. Also Oxidized Bitumen 110/30 uses in chemical, fuel, paints, lacquers, varnishes, paper-pulp-board, textile processing. In road construction, pavement, crack seal and repairmen, civil works, roofing also construction. In addition, it uses for sealing and insulating buildings, adhesive, construction materials additive, dust-binding, coating. With the wide range uses in the insulating and impregnating agent, make rubber and plastic products.
The Bitumen 110/30 products are for paving, roofing. Also used in asphalt-based paints for corrosion protection of metals, inlining public works structures, adhesives in electrical laminates, base for synthetic turf. Typical uses for Oxidized Bitumen 110/30 also include roofing, pipe coating, Portland cement pavement, hydraulic applications, paint manufacturing.
Technical Advantages of Oxidized Bitumen 110/30
- Durability
- Flexibility
- Water Resistant
- Chemical Stability
Application of Oxidized Bitumen 110/30
Oxidized Grade Bitumen shall be broken up into small pieces and heated slowly to the application temperature of 220ºC to 230ºC.
Oxidised Bitumen should be heated double temperature against the softening point to be able to have flow and viscosity. Blown asphalt also is the aesthetic adhesive substrate for asphalt membranes. In addition metal and concrete protective coating under atmospheric conditions. Oxidized Bitumen 105-35 is used for coating of pipelines. Also impregnated of the coating of papers and boards. Bonding agent for tiles and mastic also bonding agent for cork plates and adhesive for roofing felts. Furthermore, Blown bitumen is adhesive for laminated boards for protection for electrical wires.
Hard Bitumen grades also suitable for sealing saw cuts and joints where there is expected to be the minimum amount of moving in the joint. Their wide temperature range prevents bleeding in high-temperature uses. Oxidized asphalt can also be used in industrial usages like roofing, flooring, mastics, pipe coatings, electrical roles.
Packing of Oxidized Bitumen 110/30
RAHA GROUP is the manufacturer of oxidized Bitumen 110/30 in various packing, including bitumen 110/30 is available in 20 & 50 Kg Kraft Paper Bags / Poly Amide Bags, 25 Kg Carton box & 200 Kg Steel Drums. In addition, oxidized bitumen packing also palletize, 40 bags can stack on the pallet. 20 pallet can load to the 20ft container.
Storage and Handling
Heating of packaged bitumen is a critical phase in most of the final uses. Typically, the packaged material is heated and melted in boilers out on site.
However, control at the heating phase is very important in terms of health and safety as well as in maintaining the quality of the product.
Note must be taken of the maximum safe handling temperature of 230 C and this should not be abused. Bitumen is a poor conductor of heat, consequently, control of the heating phase is of paramount importance.
The Oxidized Bitumen material should be broken up prior to placement in the boiler. This exposes a larger surface area to the heat and encourages a more even heating regime. Without the larger exposed surface area, aggressive heating at the base and sides of the boiler may well result in localized overheating, altering the characteristics of the RAHA modified bitumen and potentially causing thermal cracking of the bitumen, creating the release of low lash vapors. The flash point of the oxidized bitumen then becomes irrelevant; as these low flash vapors determine the fire risk.
Melted bitumen should not be left in the boiler and reheated from cold, as there is then a high potential for localized overheating around the heating area (lack of convection means poor heat transfer) and potential development of a pressurized pocket of low flash vapors.
Be aware of the placement of any temperature monitoring or control devices. As a result of the poor thermal conductivity of the bitumen, a thermometer in the bitumen some distance from the heat source could read significantly different (even hundreds of degrees) from the true temperature of the bitumen near the heat source.
For Health and Safety information, please make reference to the relevant MSDS.
Health & Safety
Workers should wear protective masks, gloves, and goggles during application. The asphalt can be removed from equipment and tools with kerosene or gasoline. Care should be taken when heating Oxidized Bitumen 110/30 to avoid over heating
