About Bitumen
Bitumen, also known as asphalt, is a viscous, black hydrocarbon substance derived from crude oil refining or natural deposits. It serves as a key commodity in the construction industry, primarily used in road paving and roofing materials. Bitumen's adhesive and waterproofing properties make it ideal for creating durable road surfaces and weather-resistant roofing materials. Major producers include Canada, Venezuela, and the Middle East.
