Bitumen

About Bitumen


NKS, in collaboration with associate companies, has a total of 6000 MT Bulk storage tanks in Hamriyah Free Zone Sharjah, for storage and distribution of bitumen.

All penetration grade bitumen is available in Bulk Vessel, Drums, Bitutainers, and Road Tankers. We supply asphalt in new or reconditioned drums sourced from major refineries.

We at NKS forecasts to provide more than 70000 MT bitumen annually to the Middle East, Africa, and the Indian subcontinent in its first year of operation.

Encompassing all classifications of Bitumen like Penetration Grade, Cutback Bitumen, Polymers-Modified Bitumen, and Bitumen Emulsion, we boast about our ability to supply the requested demand by our elite clients. Our significant dealings are in Penetration Grade Bitumen like Grade 60/70 & Grade 80/100 and Viscosity Grades Like VG10 and VG30, as demand for these products is continuously increasing in our Indian subcontinents.

Bitumen, also known as asphalt in the United States, is a substance that forms through the distillation of crude oil. It has waterproofing and adhesive properties. Bitumen production through distillation removes lighter crude oil components, such as gasoline and diesel, leaving the heavier bitumen behind. The producer often refines it several times to improve its grade. Asphalt can also occur in nature. Deposits of naturally occurring bitumen are explored at the bottom of ancient lakes, where prehistoric organisms have since decayed and have been subjected to extreme heat and pressure.

 PENETRATION GRADES


Penetration-grade bitumen is used in road surfacing. Asphalt with lower penetration grade is used in the regions with a warm climate while higher penetration grade is used in colder weather. Penetration rate bitumen is graded based on penetration and softening point tests.

 VISCOCITY GRADE (VG)


Bitumen is graded based on absolute viscosity at 60 ºC or kinematic viscosity at 135ºC. The SI physical unit of dynamic viscosity is Poise, and kinematic viscosity is expressed in Centi Stokes.

Viscosity Grade Bitumen is widely used in spraying applications such as surface dressing and paving in a very cold climate. It’s used to manufacture Bitumen Emulsion and Modified Bitumen products
