bitum cu penetratie redusa

Romanian to English Tech/Engineering Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng prepararea mixturilor asfaltice cu bitum dur
"Una din caracteristicile mixturilor asfaltice care atestă o bună durabilitate şi comportare în trafic este rezistenţa la oboseală. Ea poate fi îmbunătăţită prin utilizarea la prepararea mixturilor asfaltice a bitumurilor cu penetraţie scăzută, aşa numitele bitumuri dure".

Hard/oxidized/blown bitumen

What is Oxidized Bitumen?

Blown bitumen grades or Oxidized Bitumen are produced by passing air through the penetration grades. This process gives the bitumen more rubbery properties than its original formula and they are simply harder bitumen. Hard bitumen under controlled temperature conditions is widely used as an anti-slip layer compound in the piling industry, for manufacture of roofing felts, the roofing and waterproofing industries, for sound dampening felts and under carriage sealant in the automotive industry, electric cable joint protection, joint filling compound, sealant compound and many others. Also used in sealing saw cuts and joints where expected movements are minimum. It is also used in the manufacturing of bituminous marine mastic for the oil & gas pipeline joints.

low penetration grade bitumen

...

Low penetration grade bitumen (also known as hard bitumen) is very difficult to emulsify as is well known in the art. The harder the bitumen, the lower the needle penetration value and the higher the softening point, but also the more difficult it becomes to emulsify the bitumen into storage stable, fast breaking emulsions.
