1. Description of the product
Road bitumen 160/220 is a product produced in the process of oxidization of a vacuum residue obtained from the distillation of crude oil. Bitumen 160/220 is used for production of the bitumen emulsions, as a raw material for insulating materials industry, for repairing technologies of damaged road surfaces.
