OXIDIZED BITUMEN 150/5

    OXIDIZED BITUMEN 150/5

    Introduction of oxidized bitumen 150/5

    BACCO Oxidized Bitumen 150/5 is based on petroleum bitumen which is made by blowing bitumen 60/70 by hot air. This type of bitumen is hard and breakable. bitumen 150/5 should be heated at double temperature (200ᵒ-300ᵒC) against the softening point to be able to have flow and viscosity. Oxidized bitumen 150/5 is the semi-solid oxidized grade of petroleum bitumen categorized in polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and is normally used for different purposes in the construction industries. BACCO oxidized bitumen 150/5 which is produced in compliance and conformity with EN and ASTM standards can be supplied in any grade and is designated by two numbers to indicate the softening point and penetration ranges.

    Applications

    This kind of bitumen is suitable to be used in chemical, raw material for bitumen coat, lacquers, varnishes, paper-pulp-board, textile processing, pavement, crack seal and repairmen, civil works, bitumen coat for piping, roofing, construction industries; sealing and insulating buildings, adhesive, construction materials additive, road construction, dust-binding, insulating and impregnating agent, isolation bitumen membrane sheet, make rubber and plastic products. typical uses for bitumen 150/5 include roofing, pipe coating, and hydraulic applications, R150/5 is mainly used in paint manufacturing and coating in hot areas.

     

     

    Hazard Identification

    NOT classified as dangerous in accordance with Directive 67/548/EEC or EC 1272/2008.

    The main hazards presented by Asphalt relate to the temperature of the material. The following hazards may apply:

    - Hot materials may burn the skin.

    - Fumes from Asphalt are unlikely to be hazardous when laid in open-air situations, but there may be a risk to health by continuous inhalation of high vapor concentrations which might arise in poorly ventilated, confined, or semi-confined spaces.

    - Asphalt is not a dusty material, but respirable dust may be released by cutting, drilling, or planning hardened asphalt. If inhaled in excessive quantities over a prolonged period or extended period, respirable dust can constitute a long-term health hazard.

    Dusts containing Respirable Crystalline Silica* (quartz) present a greater hazard. Long-term exposure to respirable dust can lead to respiratory system damage and disease. Respirable crystalline silica* has been associated with the lung disease silicosis.

    The quartz content of the product will vary and is related to the type of aggregate used in the production of the asphalt. Advice on the quartz content and other chemical information is available from the supplying unit.

     

     

    Fire Fighting Measures

    Suitable Extinguishing Media: Dry powder, foam.

    Unsuitable Extinguishing Media: Do not use water. CO2 is also not suitable.

    Special Exposure Hazards in Fire: Hydrocarbon fumes may be released, along with other hazardous combustion products including smoke.

    Special Protective Equipment for Fire Fighters: Proper protective equipment including suitable respirators or breathing apparatus must be worn.

     

     

     

    Handling and Storage

    Handling:

    SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS (when hot)

    ·        Wear suitable protective clothing (heat-resistant gauntlet gloves, overalls, protective footwear, face visor)

    ·        DO NOT allow water to contact hot material

    ·        DO NOT exceed the maximum safe heating temperature

     

     

    If molten material contacts skin:

    ·        DO NOT attempt to remove

    ·        Immerse the affected area in cold running water for at least 10 minutes

    ·        Seek medical advice without delay

     

    This product is hazardous for transportation when carried at temperatures above 100°C.

     

     

    Storage

    Oxidized Bitumen should be kept under cover and away from direct sunlight.

     

     

    Cleaning

    Tools: Clean with kerosene and gasoline.

    Hands: Use a hand cleanser or kerosene followed by soap and water.
