Penetration Grade 60/70 is the most widely used and internationally traded paving bitumen produced in the Middle East, especially in Iran. This grade offers an ideal balance between hardness and flexibility, making it highly suitable for moderate and temperate climates.

It is primarily used in the production of asphalt for highways, urban roads, airport pavements, and heavy-traffic infrastructure projects. Due to its excellent adhesive and waterproofing properties, Bitumen 60/70 ensures durable pavement performance and long service life.

In international trade markets, particularly in the Persian Gulf region, Bitumen 60/70 is considered the benchmark grade and often serves as the base reference price for export transactions.
