VTA OIL CO. specializes in the supply and distribution of petroleum and petrochemical products
Bitumen 60/90 refers to a type of penetration-grade bitumen that falls within a specific range for its hardness or softness. The numbers 60 and 90 indicate the bitumen’s penetration value, measured in tenths of a millimeter, which corresponds to the softness or consistency of the material.
This type of bitumen is used mainly in road construction and paving applications. The penetration test, performed with a standard needle under controlled conditions, helps to determine the bitumen’s suitability for various climates and load conditions. A penetration grade of 60/90 implies that the bitumen has moderate hardness, making it ideal for moderate temperature conditions and heavy traffic loads.
Bitumen 60/90 is also utilized in waterproofing and roofing applications due to its adhesive and cohesive properties
