Penetration bitumen grade 60/70 is produce by process of vacuum Bottom (VB) and air in the reactor. And due to the control of the process conditions, we reaching to pure quality of penetration grade bitumen 60/70 which has a penetration between 60~70. Bitumen is specified by the penetration and softening point test. The penetration grade bitumen 60/70 has a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This grade of bitumen 60/70 has very strong viscosity compared to other grades and its widely used.
