Bitumen CAP 50/70 In Brazil
What is Bitumen CAP 50/70 In Brazil ?
Bitumen CAP 50/70 In Brazil is commercially known as CAP (Cimento Asfáltico de Petróleo). The designation CAP 50/70 refers specifically to a penetration-grade bitumen with a penetration value between 50 and 70 (units of 0.1 mm), measured at 25°C under a 100g load for 5 seconds, following EN standards.
Put simply, this number tells you how hard or soft the bitumen is. A lower penetration value means harder, stiffer bitumen — a higher value means softer and more ductile. CAP 50/70 sits in the medium range, making it the most widely used grade for road paving in Brazil’s tropical and subtropical climate conditions.
Usage of Bitumen 50/70 CAP in Brazil
Brazil holds one of the largest road networks in the world, with over 1.7 million kilometers of roads. Despite this scale, a significant portion of the network still requires paving, rehabilitation, or maintenance.
- Highway construction and expansion
- Urban road paving
- Asphalt overlay and rehabilitation
- Airport runways
- Industrial and logistics areas
