Bitumipohjaiset

Bitumipohjaiset refers to materials or products that use bitumen as their primary component. Bitumen, also known as asphalt, is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. It is a key component of asphalt concrete, which is widely used for paving roads, roofing, and waterproofing.

In construction, bitumipohjaiset materials are valued for their adhesive properties, water resistance, and durability. They form a flexible yet strong barrier when applied, making them suitable for a variety of applications where protection from moisture and environmental elements is required. Common uses include roofing membranes, industrial coatings, joint sealants, and insulation. The performance characteristics of bitumipohjaiset products can be modified through the addition of various fillers, polymers, and other additives to achieve desired properties such as increased flexibility, improved temperature resistance, or enhanced adhesion. The manufacturing process typically involves heating bitumen and mixing it with other components under controlled conditions. Proper application techniques are crucial to ensure the longevity and effectiveness of bitumipohjaiset products.
