Oxidized bitumen
Blown hard for roofs, membranes and pipe coating.
85/25 · 90/15 · 115/15
Oxidized, or blown, bitumen is made by blowing air through hot bitumen. The result has a high softening point and low temperature sensitivity, so it stays put on a roof in the sun. Grades are named by softening point and penetration: 85/25 has a softening point near 85°C and a penetration near 25.
