Bitumen CAP 35/50 In Brazil
Definition of Bitumen CAP 35/50 In Brazil
Bitumen CAP 35/50 In Brazil is a paving-grade asphalt binder with a penetration range of 35 to 50 decimeters at
25°C. CAP stands for Cimento Asfáltico de Petróleo, the local designation for penetration-graded bitumen used in hot mix asphalt.
Why Is CAP 35/50 Used in Brazil?
Brazil’s transportation infrastructure depends heavily on its extensive road network, creating continuous demand for high-quality asphalt materials. Bitumen CAP 35/50 is commonly used in projects such as:
- National and regional highway construction
- Municipal street paving
- Road resurfacing and rehabilitation
- Airport runway construction and maintenance
- Industrial parks and logistics terminals
Difference Between CAP 50/70 & 35/50
Compared to Bitumen CAP 50/70, which is softer and more common in temperate zones or lighter traffic roads, Bitumen CAP 35/50 in Brazil holds its shape better under heat and heavy loads. CAP 30/45, an even harder grade, is used in more extreme conditions or specific structural layers. CAP 35/50 sits in the middle: hard enough to resist rutting, workable enough for standard paving equipment.
