Bitumen is a tarlike mixture of hydrocarbons derived from petroleum naturally or by distillation and used for road surfacing and roofing. Bitumen is an engineering material and is produced to meet a variety of specifications based upon physical properties. Bitumen is the residual product from the distillation of crude oil in petroleum refining.

Bitumen is available in a variety of grades. Specifications are used across the world to define these grades to meet the needs of the applications, climate, loading conditions and end use. They are usually based on a series of standard test methods that define the properties of each grade such as hardness, viscosity, solubility and ductility.
Bitumen is hazardous. Use gloves when using the material. Clean hands and skin using hand cleaner followed by washing with soap and water.
