Bitumen grades supplied to Slovakia
Bitumax is a dependable bitumen supplier and trader to Slovakia, working refinery-direct to hold the most widely used grades in stock year-round. For the Slovakia market we supply:
- Penetration grade bitumen 60/70 — the workhorse paving grade for hot and temperate climates, used across the majority of Slovakia 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 Slovakia project documents call for a grade not listed above, send us the specification and we will confirm availability.
Applications across the Slovak market
Slovakia’s motorway and regional road programme is served as a landlocked EU market via Koper and Hamburg, favouring tightly specified EN paving grades. In practice, the bitumen we ship to Slovakia 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 Slovakia
Because Slovakia is a landlocked market, we route consignments through Koper (Slovenia) and Hamburg (Germany), 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 Slovakia consignment ships with a full document set — commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin and quality certificate — so customs clearance at Koper (Slovenia) and Hamburg (Germany), with onward overland haulage is straightforward.
Incoterms & pricing for Slovakia
We quote Slovakia buyers on both FOB (loadport) and CIF (Koper (Slovenia) and Hamburg (Germany), 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 Slovakia 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 Slovakia matches what you ordered.
