Bitumen

Bitumen, offered by us, is an oil based substance. Bitumen that we provide is a semi-solid hydrocarbon product produced by removing the lighter fractions (such as liquid petroleum gas, petrol and diesel) from heavy crude oil during the refining process. As such, it is correctly known as refined Bitumen. In North America, Bitumen is commonly known as �asphalt cement� or �asphalt�. While elsewhere, �asphalt� is the term used for a mixture of small stones, sand, filler and Bitumen, which is used as a road paving material. The asphalt mixture contains approximately 5% Bitumen. At ambient temperatures, Bitumen is a stable, semi-solid substance. In Bitumen segment, we deal only with hard bitumen for roads like VG-10, VG-30, and VG-40. We collect order for Bitumen from road contractors and we provide it from HPCL, IOCL vendor in a nominal margin. At present, we supply a quantity of 70 to 90 Ton of Bitumen yearly.
