Primary Focus

Penetration grades 60/70 and 80/100 — the paving grades most road and asphalt work is written against. Moves in new steel drums, jumbo bags or bulk bitutainers, decided by what the destination can actually handle on arrival. Buyers are road contractors, asphalt plants and government infrastructure programmes.
