Bitumen grades supplied to Indonesia
Bitumax is a dependable bitumen supplier and trader to Indonesia, working refinery-direct to hold the most widely used grades in stock year-round. For the Indonesia market we supply:
- Penetration grade bitumen 60/70 — the workhorse paving grade for hot and temperate climates, used across the majority of Indonesia 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 Indonesia project documents call for a grade not listed above, send us the specification and we will confirm availability.
Applications across the Indonesian market
Indonesia’s trans-island road building and toll-road expansion favour drummed penetration grades that ship reliably across its archipelago. In practice, the bitumen we ship to Indonesia 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 Indonesia
Consignments to Indonesia are shipped to Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) and Tanjung Perak (Surabaya), the main gateway port(s) for bitumen imports, in bulk vessels, flexitanks, or containerised new steel drums and jumbo bags. 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 Indonesia consignment ships with a full document set — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and quality certificate — so customs clearance at Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) and Tanjung Perak (Surabaya) is straightforward.
Incoterms & pricing for Indonesia
We quote Indonesia buyers on both FOB (loadport) and CIF (Tanjung Priok (Jakarta) and Tanjung Perak (Surabaya)) 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 Indonesia 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 Indonesia matches what you ordered.
