Bitumen 160/220
Bitumen 160/220 Supplier and Exporter
Bitumen 160/220 is a higher-penetration paving grade valued for its flexibility and workability in applications where a softer binder is specified. The 160/220 designation refers to the penetration range determined by a standardized penetration test, which helps characterize the consistency of bitumen at a controlled temperature. Its penetration characteristics can provide flexibility and workability where these properties are required by the applicable project specification. Bitumen 160/220 specifications and technical properties, including penetration, softening point, and ductility, depend on the applicable standard, so buyers should review the relevant test documentation against their project requirements. This grade is used in road construction, highway construction and maintenance, and asphalt pavement production, and may also be relevant to surface dressing and pavement maintenance applications where a softer binder is required. Depending on climate and traffic conditions, it can be considered for infrastructure projects where flexibility is a priority, although suitability should always be assessed against the specific project design and applicable specifications. TurkeyBitumen.com supplies Bitumen 160/220 to international importers, distributors, contractors, and procurement teams, coordinating export orders according to project requirements and technical documentation. Buyers can contact Turkey Bitumen for further details, technical information, and a tailored quotation.

Bitumen 160/220 is a soft penetration grade bitumen known for its high flexibility and workability. It is used in road paving and infrastructure applications where a softer binder is required.
The figures come from a standard penetration test that measures bitumen hardness under controlled conditions. A 160/220 result indicates a considerably softer bitumen than grades such as 60/70 or 80/100.
Bitumen 160/220 is typically used in road construction, highway construction and maintenance, and asphalt pavement production, and may also be applied in surface dressing and pavement maintenance work.
Key parameters generally include penetration value, softening point, ductility, and flash point. These vary by applicable standard, so buyers should confirm exact figures through the supplier's test certificate for their order.
Bitumen 160/220 may be considered for road construction in colder or specific climate conditions where a softer, more flexible binder is beneficial, subject to the applicable project specifications and design.
Yes, Bitumen 160/220 can be used in asphalt pavement production and hot mix asphalt applications where flexibility is prioritized, particularly for maintenance and surface dressing work.
