bituminoitunutta
Bituminoitunutta, also known as bitumen, is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. It is primarily composed of hydrocarbons and other organic compounds, and is commonly used in various industrial and construction applications due to its adhesive and waterproofing properties. Bitumen is typically extracted from crude oil through a process called distillation, where it is separated from other components based on its boiling point.
The term "bitumen" originates from the Latin word "bitumen," which means "pitch." It has been used by
Bitumen can be classified into different types based on its viscosity and penetration, which are key indicators
1. Penetration-grade bitumen: This type is characterized by its ability to penetrate a standard needle under
2. Viscosity-grade bitumen: This type is classified based on its viscosity at a specific temperature, which
Bitumen is also used in the production of various other materials, such as roofing felt, asphalt shingles,
