Why do engineers and asphalt plant operators specify RUA Bitumen?
Superior Load Bearing: The 60/70 penetration grade provides a harder, more stable matrix compared to softer grades, making it ideal for highways, expressways, and urban intersections.
High Ductility: With a ductility result of 109 cm, our bitumen allows the pavement to expand and contract without brittle cracking, significantly extending the road’s lifespan.
Rapid Setting & Efficiency: RUA 60/70 is formulated to reach optimal compaction temperature quickly, allowing for faster project completion and immediate opening to public traffic.
Pure Formulation: With 99.7% solubility in TCA, our bitumen is free from impurities, ensuring consistent heating and maximum adhesion with aggregates.
Our Asphalt Cement undergoes rigorous laboratory testing to ensure compliance with ASTM and DPWH international standards.
