BITUMEN
Where there’s a tarred road, there’s need for bitumen. Bitumen is a product of the oil refining process and penetration grade bitumen is mainly used in road surfacing, road repair and upgrades. Bitumen with lower Penetration Grade is used in the regions with warm climates, while higher penetration grade is used in cold climates.
Other bitumen grades and products alongside specialty and industrial applications include performance grade bitumen, viscosity grade bitumen, oxidized bitumen, and emulsion bitumen. A wide range of products are designed and sourced to meet the challenges of the road construction, roofing, coating, waterproofing and airport sectors, bitumen wrapping tapes and bitumen products for corrosion protection.
Bitumen can be traded in bulk supply or in a containerized form from the Middle East We have secured the necessary permits to trade this product. We have relationships with well- established South African bitumen supply entities that have the infrastructure and, storage, blending & logistics infrastructure, and move large volumes of imported bitumen within South and Southern Africa.
