Blown (Oxidised) Bitumen
Air-blown industrial-grade bitumen (IS 702) for waterproofing, roofing & industrial use
What is Blown (Oxidised) Bitumen?
Blown (oxidised) bitumen is made by blowing air through hot bitumen, which raises its softening point and lowers its penetration — giving a stiffer, more heat-resistant, less temperature-sensitive product. Grades are written as softening-point/penetration (e.g. 85/25, 90/15) under IS 702.
It is used mostly off-road — waterproofing, roofing felts, pipe coating, industrial flooring, sealants, adhesives and electrical compounds — which makes it a strong add-on line for an existing bitumen, PMB or CRMB plant.
Benefits
- Higher softening point — stays firm at high temperatures
- Versatile industrial use — roofing, waterproofing, pipe coating, sealants
- Add-on to existing plant — uses the same bitumen feed + an oxidation unit
- Stable & long shelf life — less temperature-sensitive than paving grades
- Standardised — grades per IS 702 (e.g. 85/25, 90/15, 115/15)
Applications & buyers
- Roofing felts and waterproofing membranes
- Pipe coating and anti-corrosion lining
- Industrial flooring, sealants and adhesives
- Electrical/battery compounds and joint filling

Cost & ROIIndicative only — actual figures depend on capacity, location, raw-material price and utilisation. Contact us for an exact DPR.
Figures are for plant supply only — land and working capital are separate — and reflect a batch / semi-continuous build. Fully-continuous, automated, premium-spec production plants cost more (roughly ₹0.8–1.2 Cr per TPD). Your exact cost is fixed in a site-specific DPR.

Indicative plot size by capacity — we lock the exact figure to your layout and feedstock plan during feasibility.
Indicative footprint per capacity tier. Actual plot size depends on layout, feedstock storage, effluent/ZLD provisions, future expansion and statutory setbacks — finalised in the feasibility / DPR stage.
