Bitumen
Global Marine Oil and Gas Bitumen Material Plant (BMP) produces a wide range of bitumen materials suitable for roads, roofing, or airport sectors. We are actively in the production of modified bitumen, which will extend the life service and maintenance of road from three years to seven years.
Asphalt
Bitumen is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. It may be found in natural deposits or may be a refined product. Before the 20th century, the term asphaltum was also used the word is derived from the Ancient Greek.
The Company Bitumen Material Plant (BMP) sold over 745 thousand tonnes of Bitumen in Middle East, CIS, and overseas for the year 2018. we also reached a new level in terms of the production of the modified binder.
The primary use – (70%) of asphalt is in road construction, where it’s used as the glue or binder mixed with aggregate particles to create asphalt concrete. Its other main uses are for bituminous waterproofing products, including the production of roofing felt and for sealing flat roofs.
Naturally occurring asphalt is sometimes specified by the term “crude bitumen”. Its viscosity is similar to that of cold molasses, while the material obtained from the fractional distillation of crude oil boiling at 525 °C (977 °F) is sometimes referred to as “refined bitumen”.
Road Bitumen
Road oil bitumen is obtained by the oxidation of products of the direct distillation of oil and selective separation of oil products (de-asphalting asphalts, selective refining extracts). Another technology for producing bitumen is compounding (mixing).
Area of application: binder for the construction and repair of road and airfield coatings.
The company completed the program for setting up the production of bitumen according to the requirements of the new interstate standard GOST 33133-2014 of the technical regulation of the Customs Union.
The new standard implies the expansion of methods for assessing the quality characteristics that finished products should have. In accordance with the document, not only standard parameters are regulated, such as conditional viscosity indicators and resistance to high-temperature influences, but also the bitumen resistance to aging during its transportation and in the preparation of asphalt mix.
Bitumen emulsions and mastics
Bitumen emulsion is an optimally selected material consisting of bitumen, emulsifier, water, and other additives, which ensures the dispersion of bitumen particles in the aqueous phase.
Bitumen emulsion is used for road works and waterproofing structures for surface treatment of asphalt during construction work.
Bitumen emulsions are in accordance with GOST R 52128-2003 are produced at the company’s refinery:
Polymer-bitumen binders (PBB)
Polymer-bitumen binders (PBB) – are materials based on modified bitumen by the addition of polymers such as SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) and plasticizers. Its improves the characteristics quality.
PBB are difference from traditional bitumen in its increased resistance to deformation; improved properties at high and low temperatures; increased resistance to aging.
PBB are used in road and airfield construction.
Building and roofing bitumen
Roofing bitumen grade oil is obtained by oxidation of residues of atmospheric vacuum distillation of oil. In contrast to the technology of road bitumen, the production of roofing grades should use lighter raw materials (less viscous), lower oxidation temperatures.
