Bitumen
Bitumen
Turms Spółka Z Ograniczoną Odpowiedzialnością Refinery Bitumen Material Plant (BMP) produces a wide range of bitumen materials suitable for roads, roofing, or airport sectors. We are actively in the production of modified bitumen, which will extend the life service and maintenance of road from three years to seven years.
Asphalt
Bitumen is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. It may be found in natural deposits or may be a refined product. Before the 20th century, the term asphaltum was also used the word is derived from the Ancient Greek.
The Company Bitumen Material Plant (BMP) sold over 745 thousand tonnes of Bitumen in Poland, CIS, and overseas for the year 2018. we also reached a new level in terms of the production of the modified binder.
The primary use – (70%) of asphalt is in road construction, where it’s used as the glue or binder mixed with aggregate particles to create asphalt concrete. Its other main uses are for bituminous waterproofing products, including the production of roofing felt and for sealing flat roofs.
Naturally occurring asphalt is sometimes specified by the term “crude bitumen”. Its viscosity is similar to that of cold molasses, while the material obtained from the fractional distillation of crude oil boiling at 525 °C (977 °F) is sometimes referred to as “refined bitumen”.
Road Bitumen
At Turms Spółka Z Ograniczoną Odpowiedzialnością, road bitumen is produced through the oxidation of products derived from direct crude oil distillation and selective oil refining processes, including de-asphalting asphalts and selective refining extracts. Additionally, modern compounding (blending) technology is applied to ensure optimal quality and performance characteristics.
Application
Road bitumen manufactured by the company serves as a reliable binding material used in the construction and rehabilitation of road and airfield pavements, ensuring strong adhesion, durability, and resistance to heavy loads and varying climatic conditions.
Compliance & Quality Standards
Turms Spółka has successfully implemented production processes in accordance with the requirements of GOST 33133-2014, aligned with the technical regulations of the Customs Union.
This standard introduces advanced evaluation methods for assessing the quality of finished bitumen products.
Under this regulation, the company ensures compliance not only with conventional indicators—such as conditional viscosity and stability under high-temperature exposure—but also with enhanced criteria related to:
- Resistance to oxidative aging during transportation.
- Stability during asphalt mixture production.
- Long-term durability and performance in road applications.
Through continuous modernization of production systems and strict quality control, We guarantees high-performance bitumen that meets modern infrastructure and environmental requirements.
Bitumen emulsions and mastics
Bitumen emulsion is an optimally selected material consisting of bitumen, emulsifier, water, and other additives, which ensures the dispersion of bitumen particles in the aqueous phase.
Bitumen emulsion is used for road works and waterproofing structures for surface treatment of asphalt during construction work.
Bitumen emulsions are in accordance with GOST R 52128-2003 are produced at the company’s refinery:
Polymer-bitumen binders (PBB)
Polymer-bitumen binders (PBB) – are materials based on modified bitumen by the addition of polymers such as SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) and plasticizers. Its improves the characteristics quality.
PBB are difference from traditional bitumen in its increased resistance to deformation; improved properties at high and low temperatures; increased resistance to aging.
PBB are used in road and airfield construction.
Building and roofing bitumen
Roofing bitumen grade oil is obtained by oxidation of residues of atmospheric vacuum distillation of oil. In contrast to the technology of road bitumen, the production of roofing grades should use lighter raw materials (less viscous), lower oxidation temperatures.
