BITUMEN 60/70 VS BITUMEN 80/100

Bitumen 60/70 and Bitumen 80/100 are both penetration grade bitumen widely used in road construction, asphalt production, and infrastructure projects. The main difference between these two grades is hardness and penetration value, which directly affects their performance under different climate and traffic conditions.

Bitumen 60/70 is harder and more resistant to deformation compared to Bitumen 80/100. Due to its lower penetration value, it performs better in hot weather conditions and under heavy traffic loads. This grade is commonly used in GCC countries, Africa, the Middle East, and tropical regions where road surfaces are exposed to high temperatures and intense sunlight.

Bitumen 80/100 is softer and provides more flexibility at lower temperatures. It is generally preferred for colder regions and areas where thermal cracking resistance is important. Because of its softer nature, Bitumen 80/100 can better tolerate temperature fluctuations in cooler climates.

For highways, airports, industrial roads, and heavy-duty asphalt applications in warm regions, Bitumen 60/70 is usually considered the better choice due to its higher stability, rutting resistance, and long-term pavement performance.

PROPERTIES OF BITUMEN 60/70

The Bitumen 60/70 Supplier in UAE Properties undergoes several crucial tests to ensure its quality and suitability for road construction and various industrial applications. The following key tests are used to assess its performance characteristics:

Penetraion: The penetration test measures the hardness or softness of bitumen by determining the depth (in tenths of a millimeter) that a standard needle penetrates under a 100-gram load for 5 seconds at 25°C (77°F). A penetration grade of 60/70 means the needle penetrates between 6 and 7 mm. Lower penetration values indicate harder bitumen, which is generally preferred in hot climates to prevent excessive softening. This test helps engineers choose the correct grade of bitumen based on the climatic conditions and expected traffic loads.

2. Softening Point: The softening point test measures the temperature at which bitumen softens enough to allow a steel ball to pass through a defined distance in a Ring and Ball apparatus. The test is conducted by heating the bitumen at a controlled rate, and the temperature is recorded when the softened bitumen touches a metal plate. For Bitumen 60/70, the softening point typically falls between 49°C and 56°C. A higher softening point indicates lower susceptibility to temperature changes, making the bitumen more suitable for use in hot climates to prevent rutting and deformation under heavy traffic.

3. Ductility: The ductility test measures the ability of bitumen to stretch without breaking, indicating its flexibility. A standard bitumen sample is pulled apart at a constant speed of 5 cm/min at 25°C (77°F) until it breaks, and the distance (in centimeters) at which it fractures is recorded. Higher ductility is essential for bitumen to withstand thermal expansion and contraction without cracking, especially in regions with significant temperature variations. Bitumen 60/70 typically exhibits a ductility value above 75 cm, which ensures durability under varying stress conditions.

4. Viscosity: The viscosity test measures the flow characteristics of bitumen at high temperatures, ensuring proper workability during mixing and paving. It is tested at 135°C (275°F) for mixing and 60°C (140°F) for binder performance. Proper viscosity ensures that the bitumen can adequately coat aggregate particles during mixing and provides sufficient lubrication for compaction. Both excessively high and low viscosity can lead to mixing issues or poor compaction, reducing pavement strength. Bitumen 60/70 exhibits optimal viscosity to ensure stable and durable asphalt pavements.

        <h3>Crude Oil Market</h3>
        <p>Brent crude has eased to around $74–78/bbl. Softer demand sentiment is weighing on prices. The pullback is feeding through to lower vacuum bottom costs at Iranian refineries.</p>
        <span class="trend-indicator trend-down">↓ Softening</span>
      </div>
      <div class="market-card">
        <div class="market-card__icon market-card__icon--blue">⚗️</div>
        <h3>Vacuum Bottom (VB) Feedstock</h3>
        <p>Vacuum bottom prices at Iranian refineries are $370–390/MT, consistent with the past three weeks. Adequate refinery throughput is maintaining VB availability for bitumen production.</p>
        <span class="trend-indicator trend-flat">→ Stable / Slight softening</span>

        <div class="market-card__icon market-card__icon--navy">🏭</div>
        <h3>Refinery Supply (Iran)</h3>
        <p>Private refineries around Bandar Abbas are operating at normal capacity. Jey and Pasargad premium grades remain off the IME, tightening supply of embossed product. Private factory supply is adequate.</p>
        <span class="trend-indicator trend-flat">→ Normal capacity</span>

        <div class="market-card__icon market-card__icon--green">🚢</div>
        <h3>Shipping &amp; Freight</h3>
        <p>Sea freight rates from Bandar Abbas to East Africa are $60–75/MT. Southeast Asia routes are $55–68/MT. No significant port congestion reported at Mombasa, Chittagong, or Port Klang this week.</p>

        <h3>Demand – Africa</h3>
        <p>East African demand (Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia) is showing seasonal strength as road construction season ramps up. Several government infrastructure tenders are boosting Q2/Q3 import enquiries.</p>
        <span class="trend-indicator trend-up">↑ Rising demand</span>

        <h3>Demand – Asia &amp; GCC</h3>
        <p>Bangladesh and Malaysia maintain steady import volumes. GCC markets (Saudi Arabia, Oman) are selectively sourcing Iranian grades via third-country arrangements. India continues preferring domestic VG-30 supply.</p>

      <strong>Raha Oil View:</strong> We expect prices to remain in the $520–540/MT FOB band through June, barring a crude oil shock.

    <h2>What Affects Bitumen Price?</h2>
    <p style="color:var(--text-muted);max-width:680px;margin-bottom:8px;">
      Understanding what drives bitumen prices helps you time your purchases and negotiate better. These are the six core factors our trading desk monitors every week.

        <div class="factor-text">
          <h3>Crude Oil Price</h3>
          <p>Crude oil is the primary raw material cost signal. A $10/bbl move in Brent typically shifts bitumen prices by $15–25/MT. Watch Brent and WTI weekly.</p>

        <div class="factor-text">
          <h3>Vacuum Bottom Availability</h3>
          <p>Vacuum bottom (VB) is the direct feedstock for bitumen production. Refinery maintenance shutdowns or export restrictions on VB can tighten supply and push prices up sharply.</p>

        <div class="factor-text">
          <h3>Iran Mercantile Exchange (IME)</h3>
          <p>Weekly IME auction results set the benchmark for Iranian bitumen. High demand at auction means upward price pressure; low bidding can soften prices mid-week.</p>

        <div class="factor-text">
          <h3>USD / IRR Exchange Rate</h3>
          <p>Iranian refiners price internally in IRR. A weaker IRR against USD effectively lowers the USD-denominated export price, making Iranian bitumen more competitive globally.</p>

          <h3>Shipping &amp; Freight Rates</h3>
          <p>Container freight rates on Asia–Africa routes fluctuate with vessel availability and fuel prices. A $15/MT freight spike translates directly to higher CFR landed cost for buyers.</p>

    <h2>Bitumen VG30 and VG40 Price</h2>
    <p style="color:var(--text-muted);max-width:720px;margin-bottom:24px;">
      <strong>Viscosity grade bitumen</strong> (VG30 and VG40) is specified under Indian Standard IS 73:2013 and is widely required by buyers in India, the Indian subcontinent, and Gulf markets following Indian specification on highway and industrial paving contracts. Unlike penetration-grade bitumen (60/70, 80/100), viscosity grades are classified by viscosity at 60°C rather than penetration depth at 25°C, making them better suited to extreme heat and very high traffic loads.

      ⚠️ VG30 bitumen price and VG40 bitumen price are indicative weekly market ranges, not guaranteed offers — final price confirmed in proforma invoice. Both viscosity grades carry a $10–25/MT premium over equivalent penetration-grade bitumen due to additional refining and quality control to meet IS 73:2013 viscosity specifications. <a href="https://rahaoil.com/contact-us-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Request a VG30/VG40 quote →</a>

          What is the bitumen price today in 2026?
          <span class="faq-icon">+</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          As of June 2026, the <strong>indicative weekly market range</strong> for Iran bitumen 60/70 FOB Bandar Abbas is approximately <strong>$525–$535 per metric ton</strong> for private factory (non-embossed) grade in new steel drum packing. This is a market indication, not a guaranteed offer — final price depends on quantity, packing, refinery source, and inspection requirements. Jey and Pasargad embossed grades are currently unavailable via the IME.

          What is the difference between FOB and CFR bitumen price?
          <span class="faq-icon">+</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          <strong>FOB (Free On Board)</strong> price means you take responsibility for the goods once they are loaded onto the vessel at Bandar Abbas. You arrange and pay for freight and insurance to your destination.<br><br>
          <strong>CFR (Cost and Freight)</strong> price includes the FOB cost plus the sea freight to your named destination port. Raha Oil handles the shipping arrangement. You only pay import duties and local clearing at destination.<br><br>
          For most buyers importing 1–3 containers, CFR is recommended as it simplifies logistics.

          How much bitumen fits in one 20-foot container?
          <span class="faq-icon">+</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          A standard 20ft container loads approximately:<br>
          • <strong>~110 new steel drums</strong> (180 kg net each) = <strong>~19.8 MT net</strong><br>
          • <strong>~20 jumbo bags</strong> (1,000 kg each) = <strong>~20 MT net</strong><br>
          Bulk bitumen is not containerized — it is shipped in dedicated heated asphalt tankers with a minimum cargo of approximately 3,000 MT per vessel.

          What affects bitumen 60/70 price?
          <span class="faq-icon">+</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          The six primary drivers of bitumen 60/70 price are: (1) <strong>crude oil price</strong>, (2) <strong>vacuum bottom feedstock availability</strong>, (3) <strong>IME weekly auction results</strong>, (4) <strong>USD/IRR exchange rate</strong>, (5) <strong>global sea freight rates</strong>, and (6) <strong>seasonal road construction demand</strong>. The March–September construction season typically adds $15–30/MT to market prices compared to winter lows.

      <div class="faq-item">
        <div class="faq-question" onclick="toggleFAQ(this)">
          Is bulk bitumen cheaper than drum packing?
          <span class="faq-icon">+</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          Yes. Bulk bitumen (heated tankers) is typically <strong>$30–$50/MT cheaper</strong> than new steel drum packing, as it eliminates drum cost ($15–20 per drum). However, bulk requires dedicated heated storage terminals at the destination port. Jumbo bags are a middle option — ~$10–20/MT cheaper than drums, with simpler storage needs than bulk. We supply all three formats.

          <span class="faq-icon">+</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          The numbers refer to the <strong>penetration range</strong> (in tenths of a millimetre) measured at 25°C — softer bitumen has higher penetration. <strong>60/70 is harder</strong> (more resistant to deformation in heat) and is preferred for road paving in hot-climate countries (Africa, Middle East, South Asia). <strong>80/100 is softer</strong>, better suited for cooler or moderate climates, and typically priced $5–15/MT lower. Both grades are widely traded globally.

          Can Raha Oil provide SGS inspection?
          <span class="faq-icon">+</span>
        </div>
        <div class="faq-answer">
          Yes. Raha Oil arranges <strong>SGS or Intertek third-party inspection</strong> for all export shipments on buyer request. Inspection is carried out at the loading point in Bandar Abbas prior to container sealing or vessel loading. The SGS report confirms product grade, quantity, and compliance with the agreed specification. Inspection cost is approximately $3–5/MT and is itemised on the invoice. The original inspection certificate is included in the full shipping document set.
