Bitumen 85/100
What Is Bitumen 85/100?
Bitumen 85/100 is a penetration-grade bitumen identified by its penetration range under standardized testing conditions.
The 85/100 designation indicates a penetration range between 85 and 100. This places the grade in the softer range compared with penetration grades such as 30/40, 40/50, 50/70, and 60/70.
The grade may be selected when a project requires the characteristics associated with this penetration range. Final grade selection should always be based on the project’s engineering requirements, climate, application, and applicable standards.
Key characteristics include:
- Penetration-grade bitumen
- 85/100 penetration classification
- Relatively softer consistency
- Suitable for selected paving applications
- Useful for asphalt-related requirements
- Suitable for road and infrastructure projects
- Available for commercial and bulk requirements
- Suitable for domestic and international supply
Bitumen 85/100 Applications

Bitumen 85/100 vs Other Penetration Grades
Penetration grades differ in their penetration ranges and general consistency. Grade selection should be based on 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 |
| 85/100 | Softer | Specific paving & infrastructure applications |
| 100/120 | Soft | Specific construction applications |
| 160/220 | Very soft | Applications requiring greater flexibility |
Bitumen 85/100 vs Bitumen 80/100
Bitumen 85/100 and 80/100 are relatively close penetration grades, but they have different specified penetration ranges.
| Feature | Bitumen 80/100 | Bitumen 85/100 |
|---|---|---|
| Penetration Range | 80–100 | 85–100 |
| General Consistency | Softer | Softer |
| Grade Selection | Project dependent | Project dependent |
| Typical Use | Selected paving applications | Selected paving & infrastructure applications |
The appropriate grade should be determined according to the project’s specifications rather than penetration range alone.
Bitumen 85/100 vs Bitumen 60/70
| Feature | Bitumen 60/70 | Bitumen 85/100 |
|---|---|---|
| Penetration Range | 60–70 | 85–100 |
| General Consistency | Harder | Softer |
| Relative Penetration | Lower | Higher |
| Application | General road & asphalt applications | Selected applications requiring a softer grade |
| Selection | Specification dependent | Specification dependent |
