Products classified under HTS 2713.20.00.00
Asphalt Road Surfacing Bitumen
Petroleum bitumen used primarily for road paving and surfacing applications, meeting the criteria for residues from petroleum oils under HTS 2713.20.00.00. It is a semi-solid viscous material derived from crude oil distillation residues, ideal for hot-mix asphalt production.
Roofing Bitumen Shingles Grade
High-grade petroleum bitumen formulated for manufacturing asphalt roofing shingles, classified under 2713.20.00.00 as a residue of petroleum oils. This material provides waterproofing and durability in built-up roofing systems.
Industrial Petroleum Bitumen 60/70 Penetration
Standard 60/70 penetration grade petroleum bitumen used in industrial sealing and waterproofing, fitting HTS 2713.20.00.00 for petroleum oil residues. Its needle penetration value between 60-70 at 25°C defines its consistency for construction uses.
Bitumen Emulsion Base Petroleum Residue
Petroleum bitumen serving as the base for cationic or anionic emulsions in road maintenance, classified in 2713.20.00.00 prior to emulsification. Derived from vacuum distillation bottoms of crude oil.
Pipeline Coating Petroleum Bitumen
Heavy-grade petroleum bitumen applied as anti-corrosion coating for oil and gas pipelines, under HTS 2713.20.00.00 as petroleum residue. Provides high electrical resistance and adhesion in buried applications.
Asphalt Concrete Mix Bitumen
Performance-grade petroleum bitumen (PG 64-22) for hot-mix asphalt concrete in highway construction, HTS 2713.20.00.00. Meets Superpave specifications for rutting and cracking resistance.
Waterproofing Membrane Bitumen
Oxidized petroleum bitumen for torch-applied waterproofing membranes in commercial roofing, classified as 2713.20.00.00 residue. High softening point ensures thermal stability.
Cutback Bitumen MC-30 Base
Medium-curing cutback bitumen base (MC-30) petroleum residue before solvent addition, under HTS 2713.20.00.00. Used in prime coats and tack coats for roadworks.
Polymer Modified Bitumen PMB 76/10
SBS polymer-modified petroleum bitumen PMB 76/10 for high-performance pavements, base classified in 2713.20.00.00 before modification. Enhances elasticity and fatigue resistance.
