OUR BITUMEN BUSINESS
Bitumen Sourcing, Quality Coordination and Supply
MPX provides bitumen sourcing and supply coordination for commercial buyers requiring clearly defined product specifications and practical delivery solutions. Our approach connects product availability with the buyer's technical requirements, order volume, destination and preferred commercial terms.
We understand that bitumen procurement involves more than selecting a grade. The product must meet the applicable project specification, be appropriately packaged or transported, and be supported by documentation suitable for the transaction and destination.
-
Our team coordinates the key stages of the procurement process, including:
-
Product grade and specification confirmation.
-
Supplier coordination and availability assessment.
-
Technical documentation and laboratory analysis.
-
Quality sampling and independent inspection arrangements where required.
-
Packaging, loading and transportation coordination.
-
Export documentation and shipment planning, as applicable.
-
Commercial offers based on agreed quantities, destinations and delivery terms.
Each supply proposal is evaluated according to current availability, the requested technical standard, shipment requirements and mutually agreed contractual conditions.

OUR BITUMEN GRADES
Penetration-Grade Bitumen for Different Project Requirements
MPX coordinates the supply of multiple penetration grades to accommodate different construction, paving and industrial requirements. The appropriate grade depends on the engineering specification, climate, traffic conditions, intended application and applicable standards.
Penetration grades are classified using a standardized test that measures how deeply a specified needle penetrates the bitumen under controlled conditions. The grade provides an indication of consistency, but the penetration range alone does not establish the product's complete technical performance or compliance.
Bitumen 40/50
Penetration-grade bitumen 40/50 has a lower penetration range than grades such as 60/70 and 80/100, indicating a harder consistency under the standard penetration test conditions. It may be specified for particular paving and infrastructure applications where the project design calls for this grade.
Availability, technical acceptance limits and the applicable product standard must be confirmed for each order.
Bitumen 60/70
Bitumen 60/70 is a widely used penetration grade in asphalt and road-paving applications. It is considered for projects requiring a balance of binder consistency and workability, subject to the relevant engineering specification and local conditions.
MPX coordinates 60/70 bitumen supply in suitable packaging and delivery formats according to the agreed order. Technical specifications, test results and inspection arrangements are confirmed against the applicable shipment documentation.
Bitumen 80/100
Bitumen 80/100 has a higher penetration range than 60/70 and therefore represents a softer consistency under the same standardized test conditions. Its suitability depends on the intended application, pavement design, environmental conditions and the project’s required specification.
Supply availability, packaging and the associated quality documentation are confirmed for each transaction.
Bitumen 100/120
Bitumen 100/120 is available within the wider penetration-grade supply range coordinated by MPX. Buyers should specify the required standard, acceptance limits and intended application to ensure that the product offered matches the project's technical requirements.
Bitumen 120/150
Bitumen 120/150 can be considered for applications requiring a penetration grade within this range. Final product selection should be based on engineering requirements and the applicable technical specification, rather than the penetration number alone.
Bitumen 160/220
Bitumen 160/220 is another grade within the MPX bitumen supply program. Its availability and suitability for a particular project depend on the intended use, the governing standard and the technical parameters agreed with the buyer.
Bitumen 200/300
Bitumen 200/300 is included in our wider penetration-grade offering for buyers with specific product requirements. The precise specification, current availability, permitted applications and delivery arrangements must be confirmed before an order is finalized.
Grade availability note: The grades listed above represent the range offered for sourcing and supply coordination. Availability, product origin, technical specifications, minimum order quantities and delivery schedules are subject to confirmation for each transaction.

QUALITY ASSURANCE
Technical Specifications, Testing and Inspection Coordination
Bitumen quality is a critical consideration in road construction, asphalt production and infrastructure projects. MPX coordinates access to available product documentation, laboratory analyses and inspection arrangements according to the applicable grade and contractual requirements.
Depending on the requested grade and governing technical standard, relevant quality parameters may include:
-
Penetration at 25°C: A measure of bitumen consistency under specified test conditions.
-
Softening point: An indicator of the temperature at which the material reaches a defined softening condition under the test method.
-
Ductility: A measure of the material's capacity to elongate under prescribed test conditions.
-
Flash point: A safety-related parameter used to evaluate the temperature at which vapours may ignite under specified test conditions.
-
Solubility: A test used to assess the soluble portion of the material using the specified method.
-
Density or specific gravity: A physical property used in material characterization and certain calculations.
-
Viscosity and related properties: Parameters used where required by the product grade and applicable specification.
-
Loss on heating or other specified tests: Additional parameters where applicable to the relevant standard.
Not every parameter applies to every grade or contract. The governing standard, test method, acceptance limits and reported results must be verified against the relevant technical data sheet, certificate of analysis or laboratory report.
Product Verification and Independent Inspection
Where required and agreed, MPX can coordinate product sampling, laboratory testing, quantity checks, loading inspections and independent third-party inspection arrangements.
Inspection scope, sampling procedures, testing responsibilities and the applicable inspection provider are established before shipment in accordance with the commercial agreement.
Product quality claims and shipment acceptance remain subject to the actual technical documentation and inspection results applicable to the supplied batch.

APPLICATIONS OF BITUMEN
Supporting Road Construction and Infrastructure Development
Penetration-grade bitumen is used in a range of construction and infrastructure applications, subject to the product specification and project requirements.
Road Construction and Asphalt Production
Bitumen acts as a binder in asphalt mixtures used for paving roads and other approved surfaces. The selected grade must meet the applicable pavement design, material specification and performance requirements.
Highway and Infrastructure Projects
Infrastructure projects require careful selection of binder properties, documented material quality and reliable coordination between product supply, transport and construction schedules.
Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation
Bitumen can be used in suitable asphalt mixtures for road resurfacing, maintenance and rehabilitation projects where the specified product meets the engineering requirements.
Waterproofing and Selected Industrial Uses
Certain bitumen products are used in waterproofing systems and industrial applications. Product suitability depends on the specific material type, formulation, application method and technical specification; paving-grade bitumen should not automatically be assumed suitable for every waterproofing or industrial use.
MPX works with buyers to identify the required grade and coordinate the applicable specifications and supply arrangements for their intended application.
