What is Ductility Test of Bitumen ? Ductility is one of the important properties of bitumen that shows the capability of tolerating deflections that occur on the road. Consequently, the probability of cracking becomes lower, and the life span of asphalt is increased. Ductility is measured by the ductility test. In this test, the cohesive...

Bitumen Flexitank Definition Flexitank is a type of bitumen and liquid petrochemical packing. It is suitable for non-corrosive and non-hazardous liquid products. Being cost-effective and eco-friendly have made this packing popular in different industries. Contrary to steel drums and IBC, it contains more bitumen. Flexitank is a kind of single and multi-layer thick bag. Based on the...

There are many Caustic Soda manufacturers in almost every developed country and also countries with an active petrochemical or chemical industry. Simultaneously, because this product is critical and necessary for the continuation of various industries' operations, and its supply is an inevitability, many countries produce more of it than they require to meet international demand....

Bitumen is a complex material that does not have a distinct melting point. As the temperature rises, the bitumen gradually softens and its viscosity decreases therefore the softening point is defined.  What is the softening point of bitumen? The softening point of bitumen is the temperature at which the bitumen softens beyond some arbitrary softness....

Bitumen emulsion is a liquid made of tiny bitumen drops spread in water with the help of an emulsifier. You may also see it called emulsion bitumen, bituminous emulsion, emulsified bitumen or asphalt emulsion. Because this binder is liquid at normal temperature, crews can spray or mix it cold, so it needs much less heat...

Gilsonite is the natural bitumen that can be extracted from the mines in the lump form with different ash content.  These lumps can be used in the same form in industry. But, for easier and faster progress in work, it can also be used as a micronized powder. Infinity Galaxy as an international bitumen supplier provides gilsonite...

To perform the test, first, a needle with a 100-gram load is vertically penetrated into the bitumen for five seconds at 25 degrees Celsius to measure the initial penetration value. The amount of needle movement is noted in 0.1 mm.  In the next step, put the bitumen in the oven at 163 degrees Celsius for...

Grading bitumen based on physical properties is essential to get the best performance for construction and other uses. The penetration grading system was developed in the early twentieth century. Bitumen penetration grade is classified using its penetration property. Penetration property is obtained using penetration tests. What is Penetration Test? The penetration test measures the consistency...

Some believe traces of caustic soda are present in the production and preservation of every food we eat. People may not have even heard of sodium hydroxide or caustic soda , but they come into contact with it on a daily basis. The food industry uses sodium hydroxide in food both traditionally and modernly due to...

Caustic Soda or sodium hydroxide is one of the most widely used products in the pulp and paper industry. In this article, we will look briefly at Caustic Soda applications in this industry. Traditionally, Caustic Soda has been used in almost every stage of paper production. Besides, in recent years, due to environmental concerns about...
