Bitumen CAP 60/70 in Brazil
What is Bitumen CAP 60/70 in Brazil?
Bitumen CAP 60/70 in Brazil is a penetration-grade paving asphalt produced through the atmospheric and vacuum distillation of crude petroleum. The number range refers to penetration depth, measured in tenths of a millimeter under standardized testing conditions, which places this grade in the medium-hard category of paving bitumens.
Buyers searching for Bitumen 60/70 in Brazil are typically road contractors, asphalt plant operators, and construction material distributors who need a binder with dependable stiffness and thermal stability for regional climate conditions.
Bitumen 60/70 supplied for the Brazilian market is generally expected to fall within a penetration range of 60 to 70 (0.1 mm), tested at 25°C under a 100g load for 5 seconds, following methods aligned with ASTM D5 or the equivalent ABNT NBR 6576 standard used domestically.
Usage of Bitumen Penetration CAP 60/70 in Brazil
Brazil’s road network spans hundreds of thousands of kilometers, and a meaningful share of it still requires resurfacing, new construction, or maintenance work every year. Bitumen 60/70 in Brazil fits into this demand as a binder suited to moderate to warm climate zones, where a slightly softer penetration grade helps resist cracking while still maintaining enough rigidity to carry vehicle loads without excessive rutting.
- Asphalt concrete production for national highways and state roads
- Surface dressing and resurfacing of urban streets
- Binder course applications in multi-layer pavement systems
- Industrial and logistics yard paving
- Blending stock for polymer-modified asphalt (PMA) production, when contractors need to upgrade performance grade locally
