Bitumen grades supplied to Moldova
Bitumax is a dependable bitumen supplier and trader to Moldova, working refinery-direct to hold the most widely used grades in stock year-round. For the Moldova market we supply:
- Penetration grade bitumen 60/70 — the workhorse paving grade for hot and temperate climates, used across the majority of Moldova road projects.
- Penetration grade bitumen 80/100 — a softer grade for cooler conditions and specific mix designs.
- Cutback bitumen (MC & RC grades) — solvent-cut binders for priming granular bases and surface dressing.
- Oxidized (blown) bitumen — grades such as 85/25, 90/15 and 115/15 for waterproofing, roofing felt, pipe coating and industrial use.
- Viscosity-graded bitumen — matched to project specifications where viscosity grading is called for.
If Moldova project documents call for a grade not listed above, send us the specification and we will confirm availability.
Applications across the Moldovan market
Moldova’s road rehabilitation programme is served as a landlocked market via the Romanian port of Constanța, favouring EN-compliant penetration grades in drums. In practice, the bitumen we ship to Moldova is used for:
- Road construction and resurfacing — hot-mix asphalt for highways, expressways, urban roads and airport pavements.
- Surface dressing and priming — cutback and emulsion feedstock for chip-seal and base preparation.
- Waterproofing and roofing — oxidized grades for membranes, roofing felt, damp-proofing and below-grade tanking.
- Industrial applications — pipe coating, insulation board and general protective coatings.
Packaging & shipping to Moldova
Because Moldova is a landlocked market, we route consignments through Constanța (Romania), with onward overland haulage, packing to withstand extended overland transit and multiple handling points. We tailor packaging to your handling, storage and customs requirements:
- Bulk — heated tankers and bitutainers for high-volume paving contracts.
- New steel drums — typically ~150–180 kg net, palletised and marked for clean discharge and easy inland distribution.
- Jumbo / poly bags — for solid grades where drum handling is not preferred.
Every Moldova consignment ships with a full document set — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and quality certificate — so customs clearance at Constanța (Romania), with onward overland haulage is straightforward.
Incoterms & pricing for Moldova
We quote Moldova buyers on both FOB (loadport) and CIF (Constanța (Romania), with onward overland haulage) terms, and can arrange CFR where preferred. FOB suits buyers with their own freight and insurance arrangements; CIF gives a landed, all-in price with shipping and insurance handled by Bitumax. Pricing is indexed to prevailing crude and bitumen benchmarks and confirmed against your grade, quantity, packaging and destination at the time of order.
Quality assurance & inspection
Material bound for Moldova is produced to internationally recognised standards and can be independently inspected at load port by SGS, Intertek or a surveyor of your choice. Each shipment is supported by a manufacturer’s quality certificate reporting the key parameters — penetration, softening point, ductility, flash point and solubility — against the ordered specification, so what arrives in Moldova matches what you ordered.
