Bitumen characterizes:

Bitumen is a sticky, black, highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum hydrocarbon that is found in deposits such as oil sands and pitch lakes (natural) or is obtained as a residue of the distillation of crude oil (refined). Refined bitumen is a byproduct of crude oil, it is composed of complex hydrocarbons and contains elements like calcium, iron, sulfur, and oxygen. The quality of material and ease of production depends on the source and type of crude oil. Production occurs through distillation, which removes lighter crude oil components like gasoline and diesel, leaving the heavier bitumen behind. Bitumen deforms permanently under heavy loads, and continuing stress on the material can result in cracking. It oxidizes, which can leave the asphalt brittle. The way it shapes is affected by a few items, including the composition of the asphalt mixture and the ambient temperature.

Bitumen application:

Bitumen is known for its waterproofing and adhesive properties and is commonly used in the construction industry, notably for roads and highway paving. As an example of waterproofing, it was commonly used to waterproof boats and other marine vessels, as well as the sides of buildings.

Suitable packing for Bitumen:

Suitable packing for Bitumen is New Drum, Jumbo Bags, and there is a special type of Flexi that stands the loading temperature.
