Technical information for penetration bitumen

 

Technical information for penetration bitumen :

   

In analyzing the quality of all grades of penetration bitumen , the parameter that stands out from the rest is paraffin wax content . In laboratory testing , paraffin wax tends to crystallize at the temperature of zero degree centigrade . In cold climates ,this will result in asphalt particles becoming extremely brittle causing them to break up and the road surface to be damaged . In addition, at temperatures above 30 degrees centigrade , paraffin wax , being oily in nature , causes a marked decrease in the adhesive property of bitumen resulting in sliding of the asphalt granules on each other and producing the characteristic of waved road surface in the high tension areas of the road .

.

In today’s world with high prices of raw materials , it only seems logical to use the bitumen which can produce the longest lasting asphalt coating on the road surfaces and this can not be achieved unless the paraffin wax content of the bitumen is reduced to below 2 percent . In the ever lasting struggle to reach the best quality , the esfahan refinery has been able to achieve this objective and we are proud to present all grades of penetration bitumen with paraffin wax content of below 2% . Such low level of paraffin wax will considerably increasing the adhesion of asphalt granules and decreasing the chance of asphalt break up leading to the formation of a long lasting asphalt coating which will , in the long run , greatly reduce the road maintenance cost .

Our Products in Feedar Esfahan co

Our products are different  types of bitumen such as  grade 60/70 ,  grade 80/100,  grade 40/50 ,  grade 30/40.

Packing is also available based on your  choice of drums  such as  drums of 98 cm in height with 180 +\- 3 kg net capacity made from new steel iron sheets known as standard drums and for land destinations, thicker drums of 1 mm body thickness with 220 kg capacity are also available.

Other types of packing is also available such as bitumen in poly bags of 30 kg  which can normally fit around  700 bags per 20′ dry container and are meltable in bitumen melting machines.

Feedar Esfahan Manufacturing Company

Feedar Esfahan Manufacturing Co. Is a member of the union of a exporters of Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals in Iran which is operating under the supervision of Iran's Chamber of Commerce. It has been active in the manufacturing of steel drums as well as being one of the main exporters of bitumen grades 60/70, 80/100, 40/50 & 30/40 for or than 10 years. 

Considering its reputation and more than a decade of experience with major government owned bitumen producing refineries such as Isfahan, Tehran, Shiraz & Arak refineries Feedar Esfahan Manufacturing Co. is planning to expand his facilities and looking to establish a Vacuum Bottom processing plant in order to produce bitumen grades 60/70, 80/100, 40/50, 30/40. 

We have consulted many experienced experts in the field of bitumen production toward establishing our refinery according to the latest and most up-to-date safety and environmental standards approved by Iran's Environmental Organization. 

This great project has the potential to create many new job opportunities as well as help Iran's economy significantly.
