OUR POLYMERS
Polymers are substances containing a large number of smaller, identical molecules (called monomers) linked together. These substances often form into a chain-like structure. Polymers have extremely high molecular weights and the chains may differ from one another in their molecular weights.
Today, the polymer industry has grown to be larger than the aluminum, copper and steel industries combined.
Polymers already have a wide range of applications that far exceeds that of any other class of material available. Current applications extend from adhesives, coatings, foams, and packaging materials to textile and industrial fibers, composites, electronic devices, biomedical devices, optical devices, and precursors for many newly developed high-tech ceramics.

BITUMEN?
Bitumen is a mixture of Organic Liquids that are highly Viscous, Black, Sticky, Entirely Soluble in Carbon Disulfide, and composed primarily of highly condensed Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons.
Naturally occurring or crude bitumen is a sticky, tar-like form of petroleum which is so thick and heavy that it must be heated or diluted before it will flow. At room temperature, it is much like cold molasses. Refined Bitumen is the residual (bottom) fraction obtained by fractional distillation of crude oil. It is the heaviest fraction and the one with the highest boiling point, boiling at 525 °C (977 °F).
In British English, the word ‘Asphalt’ refers to a mixture of mineral aggregate and bitumen (or tarmac in common parlance). The word ‘Tar’ refers to the black viscous material obtained from the destructive distillation of coal and is chemically distinct from bitumen.
In American English, Bitumen is referred to as ‘Asphalt’ or ‘Asphalt cement’ in engineering jargon. In Australian English, Bitumen is sometimes used as the generic term for road surfaces. In Canadian English, the word bitumen is used to refer to the vast Canadian deposits of extremely heavy crude oil, while asphalt is used for the oil refinery product used to pave roads and manufacture roof shingles. Diluted Bitumen (diluted with Naphtha to make it flow in pipelines) is known as dilbit in the Canadian Petroleum industry, while bitumen upgraded to synthetic crude oil is known as syn crude and syn crude blended with bitumen as syn bit. Most bitumen contain sulfur and several heavy metals such as Nickel, Vanadium, Lead, Chromium, Mercury and also Arsenic, Selenium, and other Toxic Elements. Bitumen can provide good preservation of plants and animal fossils.

- DRUMS: Drummed Bitumen has been the most common type of packaging. Qualities of the drums have been improving during these years. We always use New Steel Drums for packing. Drums vary in terms of net weight capacity, height and body thickness. The most common and standard drums have the body thickness of 0.6 mm. Height of the drums are 98 CMS for standard drums and 86 CM for small drums (180 KG and 200 KG drums), however we have the required tools to adjust the height of the drums, based on the customer’s choice
- BULK : Our company is involved in the export of high quality road bitumen in bulk via bulk vessels to neighboring countries. After production, Bulk bitumen is initially stored in storage tanks near sea port and loaded onto Bulk bitumen vessels.A small vessel with the capacity 3,000 metric tons can be loaded within 1- 2 days and delivered to near ports within 7 to 14 days. Such small bulk bitumen ships of this capacity are designed for short distance travel. For longer distances the availability of bulk bitumen vessels must be asserted and they must be larger in size to withstand the voyage and also make it cost effective to use this mean as a transportation method. Bulk bitumen’s price is an average of 40.00 USD per metric tons less than that of drummed bitumen. The shipping cost of bulk bitumen is generally higher than bitumen shipped in containers. For example, the cost of containers to one port may cost 10.00 USD/MT while shipping the goods via a bulk vessel may cost well over 50.00 USD/MT to the same destination.
IN BITUMEN MARKET
Some believe that purchasing or selling low quality bitumen also known as mixed bitumen can have catastrophic effects.
it has been sighted that certain bitumen suppliers use cheap stock-feed. This type of stock-feed is mostly brought in from Iraq to produce their bitumen. This product does not meet international standards. However, when initially tested the results too often are accurate.However,once the same material is retested at the destination too often the results differ. It is believed that the reason for this occurrence is that most international inspection companies take bitumen samples from the top of the drum and not the bottom. Only an in-depth test can yield accurate results. By filling low quality materials in the bottom of the drums which is not tested some bitumen suppliers are beating the testing standards. During the voyage the two products are blended together causing a change in the specification of the bitumen. when you Buy low quality bitumen you are Dipping your bread into Blood” and then eating it. You must know that as an outcome of poor road conditions many drivers and their families may be injured or have fatal accidents. This is one more reason why purchasing low quality bitumen is not a suitable choice and it’s not worth the small saving.
Most of Bitumen suppliers buy bulk bitumen from refineries and do packing into steel drums. In this stage some suppliers because of their own benefit mix pure bitumen with low-quality bitumen or used oil. These suppliers even for making more profit using refurbished used the drum for packing; this is the reason which they can offer cheap bitumen into bitumen market! This blended, cheap bitumen cannot meet international standards and it is useless for road construction. Sometimes offer is based on Gross weight, it means bitumen plus drum weight; then buyers are offered less bitumen than their bitumen order! In this way, the bitumen price is cheaper than Net weight basis. Another factor which influences on bitumen prices is terms of payment. Most of suppliers can not accept L/C, for this reason, they try to give some small discount to save orders base on T/T terms of payment. Although we can accept this type of payment with the good discount if there were any interest.
Not all bitumen you buy is suitable for road construction. Imagine purchasing bitumen suitable for insulation and/or roofing and not intended for road construction. Is the saving of 10.00 USD/MT to 20.00 USD/MT worth damaging your investment and reputation? customers who may not have received the quality which they expected or are new in the market which may need some guidance to make the best informed decision.
Why do we reiterate this point about quality and pricing over and over?
- Continuous customer feedback about the bitumen prices they are receiving which are too low to be for road quality bitumen
- Customer feedback about the bad experiences they have had or know someone who has dealing with low quality bitumen which are often supported with pictures or evidence
- The continued challenge of Respectable bitumen producers, brokers, and suppliers who struggle to compete with low quality bitumen offers which are unsubstantiated in most cases while in other cases if there is bitumen of such low pricing it is generally not suitable for road construction.
We are not saying that low quality or rather off specs bitumen which are not as per ASTM standards has no place in the bitumen market. Not at all. All types of qualities are essential to exist in any market for different purposes. All we are asking bitumen enthusiasts to not consider that all bitumen are the same. It is like saying all shoes should cost the same price or that all cars should cost the same price.
Please don’t ask a high quality bitumen producer to offer you the same rates of a supplier who is selling you bitumen suitable for roofing or other purposes and not necessarily road construction.
We will soon discuss our personal view of how the international inspection company(s) method of taking samples of bitumen can improve and distinguish the quality differences. One way is to take bitumen samples from the bottom of the bitumen drums as well as the top. By not doing so only the top layer of the bitumen is tested.
Bitumen is primarily used for paving roads. Its other uses are for Bituminous Waterproofing Products, including the use of bitumen in the production of roofing felt and for sealing flat roofs.
Naturally occurring crude bitumen is the prime feed stock for petroleum production from tar sands currently under development in Alberta, Canada. Canada has most of the world’s supply of Natural Bitumen, covering 140,000 square kilometers (an area larger than England), giving it the second largest proven oil reserves in the world. The Athabasca oil sands is the largest bitumen deposit in Canada and the only one accessible to surface mining, although recent technological breakthroughs have resulted in deeper deposits becoming producible by in-situ methods. Because of oil price increases since 2003, upgrading bitumen to synthetic crude oil has become highly profitable. As of 2006 Canadian crude bitumen production averaged about 1.1 million barrels (170,000 m3) per day and was projected to rise to 4.4 million barrels (700,000 m3) per day by 2020.The total amount of crude bitumen in Alberta which could be extracted is estimated to be about 310 billion barrels (50×109 m3), which at a rate of 4.4 million barrels per day would last about 200 years.
In the past, bitumen was used to Waterproof Boats, and even as a coating for buildings with some additives. The Greek historian Herodotus said hot bitumen was used as mortar in the walls of Babylon. It is also possible that the city of Carthage was easily burnt due to extensive use of bitumen in construction.
Vessels for the heating of bitumen or bituminous compounds are usually subject to specific conditions in public liability insurance policies, similar to those required for blow torches, welders, and flame-cutting equipment.
Bitumen was also used in early photographic technology. It was most notably used by French scientist Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in the first picture ever taken. The bitumen used in his experiments were smeared on pewter plates and then exposed to light, thus making a black and white image.
Thin bitumen plates are sometimes used by computer enthusiasts for silencing computer cases or noisy computer parts such as the hard drive. Bitumen layers are baked onto the outside of high end dishwashers to provide sound insulation.
BITUMEN ALTERNATIVES
The world has become increasingly concerned over the global climate change thought to be caused by greenhouse gases, chief among them anthropogenic carbon dioxide which is released into the atmosphere from burning carbon fuels. This has led to the introduction of bitumen alternatives that are more environmentally friendly and non toxic. Bitumen can now be made from non-petroleum based renewable resources such as sugar, molasses and rice, corn and potato starches. Bitumen can also be made from waste material by fractional distillation of used motor oils, which is sometimes disposed by burning or dumping into land fills. Non-petroleum based bitumen binders can be made light-colored. Roads made with lighter-colored pitch absorb less heat from solar radiation, and become less hot than darker surfaces, reducing their contribution to the urban heat island effect.
GEOLOGIC ORIGIN
Naturally occurring deposits of bitumen are formed from the remains of ancient, microscopic algae and other once-living things. These organisms died and their remains were deposited in the mud on the bottom of the ocean or lake where they lived. Under the heat and pressure of burial deep in the earth, the remains were transformed into materials such as bitumen, kerogen, or petroleum. As bitumen’s are also found in meteorites and Archean rocks it is possible that some bitumen’s are primordial material formed during accretion of the Earth and reworked by bacteria that consume hydrocarbons. Bitumen’s are associated with lead-zinc mineralization’s in Mississippi Valley type deposits.
