Class 170 Bitumen

Bitumen C170 (Australian Grade) is a premium viscosity-grade bitumen widely used in road construction and asphalt applications across Australia.

C170 has superior durability and resistance to deformation, making it ideal for high-traffic roads and heavy-duty pavements. Its medium viscosity ensures optimal workability during laying, while its high-temperature stability enhances longevity in Australia’s diverse climate.

Whether for highways, industrial pavements, or airport runways, Bitumen C170 has reliable performance, meeting strict Australian bitumen specifications.
