Petroleum bitumen and bitumen mastic: the main differences and application features of the formulations
Bitumen and bitumen mastic are compounds endowed with excellent operational functions and capable of creating high-quality insulation of objects.
Petroleum bitumen is one of the most popular waterproofing compounds that has not lost its relevance for many years, despite the fact that it takes a significant amount of time to prepare for operation. However, in order for the insulation process to be carried out many times faster, petroleum bitumen was modified by enriching it with various fillers, plasticizers and solvents, the mixing of which formed a homogeneous consistency of bitumen mastic, which is technologically advanced and easy to use.
What is the difference between bitumen and bitumen mastic?
To understand the difference between bitumen and bitumen mastic, it is necessary to understand what these insulating materials are.
So, petroleum bitumen is a construction product that is produced by the oxidation of residual products of direct distillation of oil. Bitumen is most often a solid or viscous black substance that needs to be preheated. As for bitumen mastic, it is a mixture of petroleum bitumen enriched with various fillers and additives. The main difference between mastic and bitumen lies in the process of its production, which is not as complicated as the manufacture of bitumen, however, this does not affect the deterioration of the performance properties of mastic, but on the contrary significantly increases the manufacturability of its use and demand in the market of insulating materials.
The main similarities and application features of the formulations
The fundamental characteristic of the composition of bitumen mastics and petroleum bitumen is that both of these products are used for waterproofing work in various industrial and economic sectors. Waterproofing with bitumen and bitumen mastic compounds allows you to create a high-quality coating with excellent protective functions, optimal moisture resistance and the ability to withstand various loads.
Most often, bitumen mastic, which is also widely used, as well as the range of exploitation of petroleum bitumen, is applied to the surface in a preheated form to operating temperature. However, there are bitumen mastics of "cold" laying, which contain an organic solvent that maintains the optimal viscosity of the insulating composition.
Grades of petroleum bitumen and bitumen mastic composition
The types of petroleum bitumen and grades of bitumen mastic are determined in accordance with the purpose of the material. The most popular are road petroleum bitumen BND, construction bitumen BN and roofing compositions of petroleum bitumen BNK. As for the modifications of bitumen mastics, they are divided into hot bitumen mastics, cold bitumen mastics and water-based formulations.
When choosing the necessary waterproofing, the scope of application of the composition should be taken into account. This will allow for high-quality waterproofing, protection from damage and corrosion.
