Bitumen 200/300 is a grade of bitumen characterized by its high penetration value, indicating that it is one of the softest and most flexible types of bitumen available.
This softness of bitumen 200/300 means that it can accommodate significant movement without cracking, but it also makes it less resistant to deformation under heavy loads.
Due to its softness, Bitumen 200/300 is highly temperature-sensitive. It becomes very fluid at elevated temperatures, which can make it challenging to work with in hot climates or under heavy traffic conditions.
It is best used in environments with relatively cool temperatures or in applications where high flexibility is required.
While Bitumen 200/300 is highly flexible, it is less durable under heavy loads or in hot conditions due to its tendency to become too soft and deform.

The high flexibility of Bitumen 200/300 makes it particularly suitable for low-stress applications or where a high degree of flexibility is required, such as in waterproofing membranes, sealing, or certain types of road construction in less trafficked or cooler areas.

Bitumen 200/300 is typically not recommended for use in high-traffic roads, industrial pavements, or areas with significant load-bearing requirements due to its lower resistance to deformation. Additionally, in warmer climates, alternative bitumen grades with higher resistance to softening should be considered.
