Oxidized Bitumen 105/15
OXIDIZED BITUMEN 105/15
HIGH-PERFORMANCE BLOWN ASPHALT FOR WATERPROOFING, ROOFING & ROAD APPLICATIONS
Oxidized Bitumen 105/15 is a semi-solid, high-softening-point blown asphalt manufactured by controlled air-blowing of petroleum bitumen. This process increases hardness, heat resistance and durability, making 105/15 an ideal material for industrial, waterproofing, roofing and paving applications.
Raha Oil supplies Oxidized Bitumen 105/15 in Dubai, UAE and exports to GCC, Africa, Asia and global markets. Customized packaging and fast delivery are available.
WHAT IS OXIDIZED BITUMEN 105/15?
Oxidized Bitumen 105/15 is produced by air-blowing base bitumen to achieve:
- Softening Point: approx. 105°C
- Penetration: approx. 15 dmm
This material provides:
- Excellent thermal stability
- Strong adhesion to different surfaces
- High resistance to water, chemicals and ageing
- Long-term durability, even in harsh climates
It remains solid at ambient temperature and becomes workable when heated.
KEY BENEFITS
- High heat resistance — suitable for hot climates
- Excellent waterproofing performance
- Strong adhesion & durability
- Resistant to chemicals, salts & UV
- Stable storage & long service life
- Easy to melt and apply
Oxidized Bitumen 105/15 maintains flexibility and bonding strength, even after long exposure to external conditions.
BLOWING PROCESS BITUMEN 105/15
After preheating, the short residue is introduced into the blowing column just below the normal liquid level. Air is blown through the bitumen by means of an air distributor located at the bottom of the column. The air acts not only as a reactant but also serves to agitate and mix the Oxidized Bitumen 105/15, thereby increasing both the surface area and the rate of reaction. The bitumen absorbs oxygen as air ascends through the material. Steam and water are sprayed into the vapour space above the bitumen level, the former to suppress foaming and dilute the oxygen content of waste gases and the latter to cool the vapours in order to prevent after-burning and the resulting formation of coke.
APPLICATIONS
Oxidized Bitumen 105/15 is widely used in:
Construction & Waterproofing
- Roofing sheets & waterproof membranes
- Foundation damp-proofing
- Basement & concrete protection
- Joint sealing & crack filling
Road & Infrastructure
- Road paving & asphalt mix modification
- Expansion joints
- Bridge construction
Industrial Use
- Pipe coating & corrosion protection
- Adhesives, mastics & sealants
- Electrical insulation materials
- Industrial paints & protective coatings
- Undercoating for vehicles
This grade is ideal where high thermal stability and waterproofing are required.
HANDLING & STORAGE
- Heat gradually using indirect heating.
- Do not exceed recommended temperature during application.
- Typical working temperature: 180–220°C
- Avoid overheating or re-heating from cold.
- Store in cool, dry places away from direct sunlight.
Personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended during handling.
MSDS available upon request.
