OXIDIZED BITUMEN 85/25

    OXIDIZED BITUMEN 85/25

    Introduction of oxidized bitumen 85/25

    BACCO Blown bitumen grade R85/25 or Oxidized Bitumen 85/25 is produced by passing air through the penetration grades. This process gives the bitumen more rubbery properties than its original formula and bitumen R85/25 is simply harder bitumen.

    BACCO Oxidized Bitumen 85/25 meets EN and ASTM standard specifications and guarantees high-quality products for our clients.

    Oxidized Bitumen is shown by R(SP)(PEN) in which SP is Softening and PEN is Penetration as a result R85/25 means an oxidized bitumen with Softening point=85 and Penetration=25.

    Applications

    Oxidized asphalt 85/25 used in the chemical, fuel, lacquers, varnishes, paint paper-pulp-board, textile processing, road construction, pavement, civil works, roofing, construction industries; sealing and insulating buildings, adhesive, crack seal and repairmen, construction materials additive, dust-binding, insulating and impregnating agent, make rubber and plastic products. The asphalt R 85/25 products are for paving. also used in asphalt-based paints for corrosion protection of metals, in lining public works structures, adhesives in electrical laminates, a base for synthetic turf; typical uses for oxidized bitumen 85/25 used also for water-proof application and corrosion resistance for pipe coating, Portland cement pavement, hydraulic applications, paint manufacturing, caulking, mastics, and damp proofing. Blown bitumen R 85/25 uses insulation and isolation bitumen membrane sheet. Also, the Car undercoating Automobile industry is especially required for Blown Asphalt. Vehicle undercoating material is based on Bitumen. Bitumen provides excellent waterproof, dustproof and noise proof for automobile undercoating.

    Notice: The oxidized bitumen should be heated at double temperature against the softening point to be able to have flow and viscosity. 

     

     

    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.
