60/70
Bitumen grade 60/70 is a premium brand that is dark brown or black color similar to cement-shape semi-solid or viscous liquid form produced by the non-destructive refining of crude oil during petroleum refining.
The exact chemical composition of bitumen 60/70 is dependent on the chemical complexity of the original crude oil and the manufacturing process. Penetration bitumen grade 60/70 has properties of 60~70 desimilimeter and softening point 46~58 Deg°C.
Bitumen extracting is hard but it can bubble naturally to surface in petroleum seeps.
Seeps are places where fossil fuels and petroleum products leak out of the Earth instead of being trapped deep below the ground. In these seeps, bitumen, asphalt, and tar bubble up into pools.
In addition, bitumen is the main fossil fuel component of oil sands. Bitumen combination with asphalt is solid, uses in paving.
