Bitumen 100/120
What Is Bitumen 100/120?
Bitumen 100/120 is a penetration-grade bitumen identified by its specified penetration range under standardized testing conditions.
The 100/120 designation indicates a higher penetration range than grades such as 30/40, 40/50, 50/70, and 60/70. As a result, Bitumen 100/120 is generally softer than these harder penetration grades.
Its suitability depends on factors such as the intended application, climatic conditions, engineering requirements, and applicable product specifications.
Key characteristics include:
- Penetration-grade bitumen
- Higher penetration range
- Softer consistency
- Suitable for selected paving applications
- Useful for specific asphalt requirements
- Suitable for construction and infrastructure projects
- Available for commercial and bulk requirements
- Suitable for domestic and international supply
Bitumen 100/120 Applications
Bitumen 100/120 can be used in different construction and industrial applications where its characteristics meet the project requirements.
Road Construction
Bitumen 100/120 can be considered for selected road construction projects where a softer penetration-grade binder is specified.
Pavement Construction
Its softer characteristics can make it suitable for specific pavement applications where the required engineering specification calls for this grade.
Asphalt Production
Bitumen 100/120 may be incorporated into asphalt mixtures when its characteristics are appropriate for the formulation and project requirements.
Road Maintenance
Depending on the project specification, Bitumen 100/120 may be considered for selected road repair and maintenance applications.
Waterproofing Applications
Bituminous materials are used in various waterproofing-related applications. Bitumen 100/120 may be considered where its properties meet the specific application requirements.
Why Choose Bitumen 100/120?
Selecting the right penetration grade is important because different projects require different material characteristics.
Bitumen 100/120 may be considered when a project requires:
- A softer penetration-grade binder
- Higher penetration characteristics
- Suitable flexibility for specific applications
- Consistent product characteristics
- Professional packaging
Bitumen 30/40 may be preferred when a project requires:

Bitumen 100/120 vs Bitumen 80/100
Both grades are softer than many commonly used harder penetration grades, but their penetration ranges are different.
| Feature | Bitumen 80/100 | Bitumen 100/120 |
|---|---|---|
| Penetration Range | Lower | Higher |
| General Consistency | Softer | Softer |
| Relative Softness | Lower | Higher |
| Application | Project dependent | Project dependent |
| Selection | Based on specification | Based on specification |
The appropriate grade should always be determined according to the project’s technical requirements rather than grade number alone.
Bitumen 100/120 vs Other Penetration Grades
Penetration grades differ in their penetration ranges and general consistency. The appropriate grade should be selected according to the project’s technical requirements.
| Grade | General Consistency | Typical Consideration |
|---|---|---|
| 30/40 | Hard | Selected paving & demanding applications |
| 40/50 | Relatively hard | Road construction & asphalt |
| 50/70 | Medium | General paving & asphalt |
| 60/70 | Medium | Roads, highways & asphalt |
| 80/100 | Softer | Selected paving applications |
| 100/120 | Soft | Specific paving & construction applications |
| 160/220 | Very soft | Applications requiring greater flexibility |
Bitumen 100/120 sits toward the softer end of the penetration-grade range, so its selection should be based on the actual project specification.
