Bitumen 10

Definition of bitumen 10

Bitumen 10 is a type of hard grade building asphalt with penetration values starting from 10. This grade of asphalt building material is mostly used in the Eastern Asia market especially Taiwan, China, the Philippines and Indonesia. We at Bitumen Malaysia can supply them in bags, drums and in bulk tanks.

Uses of bitumen 10
