ASA BITUMEN, as the largest producer and exporter of bitumen, supplies Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 (Blown Bitumen 95/25), a hard and thermally stable grade manufactured by passing controlled air through bitumen at elevated temperatures. This oxidation process significantly enhances the material’s properties by increasing its softening point and reducing penetration, resulting in ASA BITUMEN Oxidized Bitumen 95/25 offering excellent resistance to extreme weather conditions and chemical exposure.
