Bitumen (commonly called asphalt in American English) is a highly viscous, black, sticky, and thermoplastic substance, a residual product derived from the fractional distillation of crude petroleum. It is a complex mixture of high molecular weight hydrocarbons and is also found naturally in deposits (like the Pitch Lake in Trinidad).

  • Key Properties:

    • It is thermoplastic, meaning its stiffness (or viscosity) is highly dependent on temperature: it behaves like a viscous liquid at high temperatures and an elastic solid at low temperatures.

    • It is virtually impervious to water, making it an excellent waterproofing agent.

    • It exhibits strong adhesive properties, which makes it an ideal binder material.

  • Primary Use: Approximately 70% of the world's bitumen is used in road construction to produce asphalt concrete (often just called "asphalt"), where it acts as the binder to hold aggregate particles (gravel, sand) together.

  • Other Uses: It is also essential for waterproofing products like roofing felt, roof sealants, and various protective coatings.
