Packaging

Barrel

One of the most common packaging methods. Hot bitumen is poured into barrels, which are then sealed. The barrels protect the bitumen from the elements, so this suits long-distance transport.

Bitoplast

Polymer-modified bitumen packed in a special bag that withstands high temperatures. The bag melts together with the bitumen when heated, which makes it convenient.

Bitbag

A heat-resistant bag for packing and transporting hot bitumen, made from a material that withstands its high temperature. Cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

Jumbo bag

A large bag for bulk transport of bitumen, made from durable material that handles its weight and heat. Suited to large projects that need a lot of bitumen.
