In industrial applications such as the production of bituminous membranes, electrical and thermal insulation, etc., bitumen must have properties that ensure resistance to aging and oxidation in various weather conditions. It must also provide protection, flexibility, and impermeability. Alma Petroli produces industrial bitumen that is particularly well-suited for manufacturing waterproofing membranes, including those suitable for APP (plastomeric polymers) and SBS (elastomeric polymers), as well as self-adhesive elastomeric membranes.

Over the years, Alma Petroli has developed a wide range of bitumens based on a careful selection of raw materials, dedicated production processes, and continuous R&D and quality control through specific laboratory tests. These bitumens differ in terms of properties, performance, and suitability for the various formulations used by membrane manufacturers.

Within the various bitumen ranges, further distinctions are made according to different penetration classes (80/110, 180/240, 260/320, and 300/400), depending on seasonal factors and specific client requirements for summer and winter industrial bitumens.

Alma Petroli industrial bitumens feature:

• Excellent compatibility with APP and SBS polymers;
• Excellent performance in both hot and cold compounds;
• Excellent oven performance.

After years of working with membrane manufacturers and paying close attention to clients’ production requirements, Alma Petroli can provide customized solutions using the bitumen best suited to membrane manufacturers’ own formulations. Alma Petroli is therefore a benchmark, the ideal partner for manufacturers working in the industry.
