Bitumen AH 50
Meaning of Bitumen AH50
Bitumen AH50 is high quality asphalt, derived from crude petroleum refining. AH-50 Bitumen is dark in color and possesses waterproofing and adhesive properties. It is substantially non-volatile and softens gradually when heated.
H-50 typically denotes the penetration grade of the bitumen, and in this case, it’s related to the “penetration test” that measures the hardness or softness of bitumen. The number 50 in AH-50 represents the penetration value in units of 0.1 millimeters (0.1 mm) that a standard needle will penetrate the bitumen sample under specific conditions and load over a specified time.
Uses of bitumen AH 50
Bitumen grade AH50 is used as binders of mineral aggregates in asphalt concrete and hot laid plant mix for highways, airports, parking areas, driveways, and curbs.AH-50 bitumen is often used in areas with moderate to warm climates. It’s important to consult local specifications and standards to ensure that the chosen bitumen grade is appropriate for the specific project requirements.
Handling
When handling Bitumen AH50, it is crucial to employ Personal Protective Equipment (PPEs) such as gloves and eye protectors. Safe heating temperatures should be maintained, and precautions should be taken to avoid skin, eye, and clothing contact, as well as inhalation of vapor, spray, or mists during application. Here are the key points for handling the bitumen AH 50.
- Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE’s) when handling Bitumen AH 50 (i.e. gloves, eye protectors, etc.)
- Maintain safe heating temperatures.
- Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
- Avoid breathing vapor, spray, or mists when applying.
