Road

High quality bitumen produced in refineries with the most modern industrial processes. In the road and airport sectors they are used to prepare bituminous mixes for the paving of roadways and runways constituting flexible structure. They are also used in numerous applications which require excellent binding, waterproofing and insulating properties.
The classes available are those most frequently requested and used in Italy for semisolid bitumen: 35/50, 50/70, 70/100 and 170/210, the characteristics of which meet fully the requirements of the users.

Properties
Agip bitumen satisfies the requirements of fatigue resistance, plasticity and low temperatures behaviour.
The optimum viscosity in the range of temperatures for mixing and placing guarantees easy workability of the products. For these properties, Agip bitumen gives optimum mechanical characteristics to the mixes, there by guaranteeing the construction of high performance paving - even for high stress conditions.
On regards of considered classes Agip road bitumen meets European standard EN 12591.

Applications
They are used mainly in the construction of paving for roads, motorways, pavements and airport runways; the particular class of bitumen (type and grade) is determined according to the specific application and the most important requirements.
Agip bitumen also allows the preparation of bituminous emulsions to be used as tack coats or in surface treatments.
