Introduction to Bitumen 

Bitumen is one of the compounds produced by two continuous and discontinuous processes and, following the creation of laboratory and specialized reactions, it is processed from crude oil and supplied to the domestic and global consumer market after barrel. The main chemical structure of bitumen is composed of hydrocarbons, metals, and heteroatoms and is one of the most important materials used in the construction and road construction industry.

Another product produced in the Petro Sanat Zomorod factory is 50-40 oxidized bitumen. This type of bitumen has a degree of penetration or the so-called grade of 40-40 and is processed by blowing hot air on its surface. The process of blowing or oxidizing bitumen leads to the reaction and combination of hydrogen molecules in the structure of hydrocarbons in oil with oxygen molecules in the air and oxidized bitumen will be formed by the formation of water and polymerization.

Consumption and application of Petro Sanat Zomorod bitumen 50-40 

Bitumen has many uses in various industries. Although different types of bitumen have a wide range of uses, the four main uses are as follows:

The construction industry, Isogaam bathroom floor, toilet, and roof surface
Road construction and road construction industries
Insulation coatings for the inner and outer surface of municipal sewer pipes
Production of polymer-modified waterproofing

In general, it should be said that the most important and most used applications of bitumen, including oxidized bitumen in the production of various waterproofing and the construction of asphalt covering the road surface. Oxidized bitumen of 40-50 Petro Sanat Zomorod petro-industrial companies has all the factors and parameters of international standard and has the lowest amount of impurities in its chemical composition.
