Bitumen
A dense, highly viscous petroleum product used as the binder in asphalt paving, roofing and waterproofing. Obtained from the residue of crude-oil distillation.

İlgili terimler: Asphalt, Penetration grade, Viscosity grade (VG)

Bitumen products
Asphalt
The finished construction mixture of bitumen binder and mineral aggregates laid on roads. In some regions "asphalt" is used loosely to mean the bitumen binder itself.

İlgili terimler: Bitumen, Aggregate, Hot-mix asphalt (HMA)

Aggregate
The granular mineral material — sand, gravel and crushed stone — bound together by bitumen to form asphalt. Aggregate provides the load-bearing skeleton of a pavement.

İlgili terimler: Asphalt, Hot-mix asphalt (HMA)

Penetration grade
A classification of paving bitumen by the depth (in tenths of a millimetre) a standard needle penetrates the sample at 25°C. Grades such as 60/70 and 80/100 denote the penetration range; lower ranges are harder.

İlgili terimler: Penetration test, Viscosity grade (VG), Softening point

Penetration grade bitumen
Viscosity grade (VG)
A classification of bitumen by absolute viscosity at 60°C (VG-10, VG-20, VG-30, VG-40). Viscosity grading measures a fundamental property near road-service temperature and is used widely in hot climates.

İlgili terimler: Penetration grade, Viscosity, Absolute viscosity

Bitumen by viscosity
Oxidized (blown) bitumen
Bitumen air-blown at high temperature to raise its softening point and reduce temperature susceptibility. Used for roofing, waterproofing membranes, pipe coating and industrial applications.

İlgili terimler: Softening point, Roofing felt, Penetration grade

Oxidized bitumen
Cutback bitumen
Bitumen diluted with a petroleum solvent to lower viscosity for cold application. Classified as rapid-curing (RC), medium-curing (MC) or slow-curing (SC) by the solvent’s volatility.

İlgili terimler: RC / MC / SC, Prime coat, Tack coat

Cutback bitumen
RC / MC / SC
The three cutback bitumen classes: Rapid-Curing (RC, using a volatile solvent like naphtha), Medium-Curing (MC, using kerosene) and Slow-Curing (SC, using a heavier oil). The class determines how quickly the cutback cures after application.

İlgili terimler: Cutback bitumen, Prime coat

Polymer modified bitumen (PMB)
Bitumen blended with polymers such as SBS or SBR to improve elasticity, rutting resistance and durability across temperature extremes. Specified for heavy-duty highways and airfields.

İlgili terimler: Bitumen, Rutting, SBS

SBS
Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene, a thermoplastic elastomer commonly used to modify bitumen. SBS improves elastic recovery and resistance to permanent deformation, forming a polymer network within the binder.

İlgili terimler: Polymer modified bitumen (PMB), Elasticity / elastic recovery

Bitumen emulsion
A suspension of fine bitumen droplets in water stabilised by an emulsifier, applied cold. Classified as cationic or anionic and by setting speed. Used for tack coats, prime coats, slurry seals and cold patching.

İlgili terimler: Tack coat, Prime coat, Slurry seal

Penetration test
A laboratory test measuring how far a standard needle penetrates a bitumen sample (in dmm) at 25°C under a 100 g load for 5 seconds. The basis of penetration grading.

İlgili terimler: Penetration grade, Softening point

Softening point
The temperature at which bitumen becomes soft enough to flow, measured by the ring-and-ball method. A higher softening point indicates greater resistance to deformation at high service temperatures.

İlgili terimler: Penetration test, Oxidized (blown) bitumen, Temperature susceptibility

Ductility
The distance in centimetres a bitumen sample stretches before breaking when pulled at a standard rate and temperature. It indicates the binder’s cohesive, flexible quality.

İlgili terimler: Penetration test, Elasticity / elastic recovery

Flash point
The lowest temperature at which bitumen vapours ignite momentarily in the presence of a flame, measured by the Cleveland open cup. A key safety parameter for handling and storage.

İlgili terimler: Viscosity, Safety data sheet (SDS)

Viscosity
A measure of a fluid’s resistance to flow. For bitumen, viscosity governs pumping, mixing and compaction behaviour and is strongly temperature-dependent.

İlgili terimler: Absolute viscosity, Kinematic viscosity, Viscosity grade (VG)

Absolute viscosity
The dynamic viscosity of bitumen measured at 60°C (in poise), used as the basis for viscosity grading. It reflects flow behaviour at high pavement-service temperatures.

İlgili terimler: Viscosity, Viscosity grade (VG), Kinematic viscosity

Kinematic viscosity
The ratio of a fluid’s absolute viscosity to its density, measured for bitumen at 135°C (in centistokes). Used to characterise mixing and pumping temperatures.

İlgili terimler: Viscosity, Absolute viscosity

Temperature susceptibility
The degree to which a bitumen’s consistency changes with temperature. Low susceptibility (e.g. in oxidized or polymer-modified grades) is desirable for stable performance across seasons.

İlgili terimler: Softening point, Penetration index (PI), Polymer modified bitumen (PMB)

Penetration index (PI)
A number derived from penetration and softening point that expresses a bitumen’s temperature susceptibility. Higher PI values indicate less sensitivity to temperature change.

İlgili terimler: Penetration test, Softening point, Temperature susceptibility

Elasticity / elastic recovery
The ability of a modified binder to return to its original shape after deformation, measured as elastic recovery. A hallmark of polymer modified bitumen.

İlgili terimler: Polymer modified bitumen (PMB), SBS, Ductility

Rutting
Permanent deformation forming longitudinal depressions in a wheel path, caused by binder softening or aggregate movement under repeated load. Harder or modified binders resist rutting.

İlgili terimler: Polymer modified bitumen (PMB), Softening point

Hot-mix asphalt (HMA)
Asphalt produced by mixing bitumen and aggregate at high temperature, then laid and compacted hot. The most common material for durable road surfaces.

İlgili terimler: Asphalt, Aggregate, Tack coat

Prime coat
A low-viscosity bituminous material (often a cutback or emulsion) sprayed onto an unbound base to seal it and promote bond with the overlying asphalt layer.

İlgili terimler: Tack coat, Cutback bitumen, Bitumen emulsion

Tack coat
A thin bituminous layer (usually an emulsion) applied between pavement courses to ensure adhesion between the existing surface and a new asphalt layer.

İlgili terimler: Prime coat, Bitumen emulsion

Slurry seal
A cold-applied mixture of bitumen emulsion, fine aggregate, filler and water used as a thin surface treatment to seal and renew worn pavements.

İlgili terimler: Bitumen emulsion

Roofing felt
A bitumen-saturated fabric or membrane used for waterproofing roofs. Oxidized bitumen’s high softening point makes it well suited to felt manufacture.

İlgili terimler: Oxidized (blown) bitumen, Waterproofing

Waterproofing
The use of bitumen membranes and coatings to prevent water ingress in roofs, basements, bridges and tunnels, exploiting bitumen’s impermeability and adhesion.

İlgili terimler: Oxidized (blown) bitumen, Roofing felt

Steel drum

İlgili terimler: Jumbo bag (FIBC), Bitutainer, Poly-bag

Packaging options
Jumbo bag (FIBC)
A flexible intermediate bulk container, or meltable bag, holding roughly 300 kg to 1 tonne of bitumen. The bag is fed into the melter with the bitumen, cutting packaging waste.
