Road Construction
Road construction is the foundational application for the majority of Bituco's product line. Our binders are engineered to create durable, smooth, and resilient asphalt pavements that withstand diverse traffic loads and climate conditions. The choice of bitumen grade is critical and depends heavily on the pavement layer and the expected performance.
Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Paving
This is the primary use of asphalt for structural layers, including the base, binder, and surface courses.
Penetration Grade Bitumen for general use in moderate traffic
Viscosity Grade Bitumen for performance-based projects with heavy traffic and high temperatures
Product :
Prime Coat and Tack Coat
These are essential, thin layers of bituminous material applied to ensure adhesion between pavement courses.
Emulsion Bitumen preferred for its low-temperature application and environmental benefits
Cutback Bitumen used where rapid curing is needed or in specific cool/dry conditions.
Product :
Surface Treatments (Chip Seals, Slurry Seals)
Low-cost, preventative maintenance applications designed to seal cracks, prevent moisture intrusion, and restore surface friction.
Various types of Emulsion Bitumen are primarily used for these sealing and surfacing applications.
Product :
Heavy Traffic and High-Stress Zones
Intersections, climbing lanes, and major highways require binders with higher elasticity and reduced temperature susceptibility.
Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) is crucial here to prevent premature rutting and thermal cracking, significantly extending pavement life.
