Bitumen is a black, highly viscous, petroleum-based material commonly used for road construction, waterproofing, and roofing applications. Known for its strong binding properties, durability, and resistance to water, it serves as the primary binder in asphalt mixtures. Bitumen is valued for its flexibility, weather resistance, and long-term performance in infrastructure projects.
