BITUM is a dark, highly volatile mineral product with visco-elastic behavior, including temperature variation.
It is obtained by mixing the various organizing substances resulting from the distillation of the selected teas.
The first bituminous mixtures produced in the United States were used for sidewalks, crosswalks, and even roads starting in the late 1860s.
In 1870, a Belgian chemist named Edmund J. DeSmedt laid the first true asphalt pavement in this country, a sand mix in front of the City Hall in Newark, New Jersey.
BITUM Advantages
Due to its physical and chemical properties, the BITUM is:
- Visco-elastic product
- The flow characteristics change with respect to temperature, the chemical composition remains the same
- At high temperatures it behaves like a liquid
- At low temperatures it behaves like a solid
- Adhesive mass
- Non-conductive (insulating material)
- Hydrophobic (repels water)
- Nontoxic
- Inert in reagents with most inorganic acids, alkaline solutions and salts
- Product that strengthens under the effect of UV radiation
- Heavily flammable
BITUM - versatility in applications:
- Road construction
- Bituminous sands, membranes for insulation,
