Blown asphalt comes from hot air blown to pure bitumen in the last stage of refining. In this process, hot air having 200-300 degree centigrade temperature is blown to bitumen container with porous tubes.
In this process, hydrogen atoms in bitumen hydrocarbon are combined with oxygen in the air and by forming water, polymerization happens. Compared with pure bitumen, blown bitumen has a low penetration rate and a high softness point.
This kind of bitumen is used in making roof sheets, automobile battery, and coating.
Mixed bitumen is a term used to refer to a mixture of bitumen and a suitable liquid (for example kerosene or gasoline). This bitumen in normal environment temperature is liquid or is changed to liquid with a little heat. Mixed bitumen is used in different kinds of macadam and coating asphalts. The speed of its clotting or hardening depends on the kind of liquid. For example, because of the high speed of gasoline evaporation, bitumen solved in gasoline hardens faster. This bitumen is called rapid clotting (RC) bitumen. The bitumen solved in kerosene is called mild clotting (MC) bitumen and those solved in gas oil or fuel oil is called slow clotting (SC). Liquid bitumen is classified according to their viscosity rate.
Emulsion bitumen is produced by mixing bitumen, water, and an emulsion making material.
The emulsion making material is usually alkali salt of an organic acid or ammonium salt which charges bitumen particles.
So the bitumen particles expel each other because of their induction charges and float in the form of balls having one hundredth to one thousandth millimeter diameter. The use of such kind of bitumen decreases environment pollution and as oil or flammable solvents aren’t used the danger of flaming during transportation is decreased.
How we work – from enquiry to delivery
- Enquiry
You share your requirements with us, including grading, quantities and destination port, and we will review all your requests. - Shipment & follow-up
Bitumen is loaded, shipped and tracked. We remain in contact until you receive the cargo and support you with any follow-up questions.
- Quotation
We will prepare a tailored offer with prices, technical and quality specifications, packaging options and estimated shipping schedule. - Agreement & documentation
Once terms are agreed, we prepare all necessary documents, including contracts, invoices and export paperwork.
Quality, testing and documentation
All bitumen is supplied according to agreed technical specifications and tested in certified laboratories. We follow international standards for penetration, softening point and other key parameters.
Each shipment is accompanied by:
Laboratory test reports based on international standards
Certificate of Analysis (COA) for the supplied batch
Safety documentation and export documents as required
For a complete overview of test parameters, example COAs and related technical documents, please refer to our bitumen product page and oil & gas services catalogue:
Logistics and shipment to African ports
We offer flexible and cost-effective logistics solutions for African destinations, working with reliable shipping partners and using different packaging options depending on your infrastructure.
Regular shipments to East African ports such as Dar es Salaam and Mombasa
Shipments to Southern African ports such as Maputo and Durban
Shipments to West African ports including Tema, Lagos and others on request
Multiple packaging options: drums in containers, jumbo bags, bulk cargo and flexi-tanks (subject to specifications)
Based on your grade, quantity and destination port, we recommend the most suitable mode of transport and packaging to optimise your landed cost.

Frequently asked questions
Can you ship bitumen to my country in Africa?
In most cases, yes. We regularly ship to East, West and Southern Africa. Tell us your destination port and we will confirm the best route and shipping options.
What is the minimum order quantity?
For containerised drum shipments, we usually start from one full container. For bulk or flexi-tank shipments, the minimum quantity depends on the vessel or truck configuration. Share your preferred volume and we will propose the most economical option.
Where can I see detailed technical specifications?
Detailed technical specifications, test parameters and example COAs are available on our bitumen product page. For additional information, we can share full technical documentation with you after receiving your enquiry.
How long does it take to receive a quotation?
After receiving your full enquiry (grades, quantities, destination port), we typically send a detailed quotation within 24–48 hours.
Do you only work with large contractors?
No. We work with both large contractors and smaller importers or distributors. We can start with a trial shipment and grow the cooperation over time.
