Meaning of Bitumen AH 110
Bitumen AH 110, a highly specialized grade obtained through the meticulous refining of crude oil, stands at the forefront of construction materials. The nomenclature “AH110” signifies its penetration grade, a measure of the depth in tenths of a millimeter that a standard needle penetrates the bitumen under specific conditions. With a finely tuned balance between viscosity and hardness, Bitumen AH 110 emerges as an exceptionally versatile and indispensable construction material.

A: Bitumen AH110 is a premium penetration-grade binder designed for heavy-duty construction projects such as highways, airport runways, and industrial pavements. It provides excellent durability, adhesion, and resistance to deformation under high temperatures.
A: Bitumen AH110 is slightly harder and more viscous than AH90 or AH70, offering higher stiffness and superior performance in warmer climates or high-load areas while maintaining good flexibility.
