Hot Mix Asphalt Specifications
Straight Run / Penetration Grade Bitumen
Penetration grade bitumen is the most widely used binder in South African road construction. Our stock grades include:
| Grade | Penetration Range | Best Application | Climate Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35/50 | 35–50 dmm | High-traffic highways, heavy axle roads | Hot inland climates |
| 50/70 | 50–70 dmm | General road surfacing, base layers | KZN coastal conditions |
| 70/100 | 70–100 dmm | Low-volume roads, cold-mix applications | Cooler KZN highland areas |
| 160/220 | 160–220 dmm | Crack sealing, maintenance patching | All climates |
All grades comply with SANS 4001-BT1. The 50/70 grade is the preferred standard for most KwaZulu-Natal road surfacing applications, offering the right viscosity balance for Durban’s warm, humid coastal climate. Get a Quotation Now from your local Bitumen Suppliers Durban
Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB)
- High-traffic intersections and bus lanes in Durban CBD
- Airport runways and logistics park aprons
- Heavily loaded industrial access roads
- Rutting-resistant surfacings in hot KZN summers
Our PMB range includes SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) and EVA-modified grades, compliant with performance grading per SATS 3208:2019.
Bitumen Emulsions (Anionic & Cationic)
Bitumen emulsions are water-based bituminous binders used for cold application — eliminating the need for heating equipment on site. Available in:
- Cationic Rapid Setting (CRS-1, CRS-2): Surface dressings and chip seals
- Cationic Slow Setting (CSS-1): Fog seals, dust suppression, slurry seals
- Anionic Stable Grade: Tack coats and priming of granular bases
- Nano-Modified Emulsion Primes: Advanced moisture-resistant priming technology
eThekwini Municipality’s road maintenance division relies on anionic bitumen emulsions for routine carriageway maintenance contracts
Cutback Bitumen (MC30, MC70, RC250)
Cutback bitumen uses petroleum solvents to reduce viscosity for cold-weather or remote application:
- MC30: Prime coats on granular sub-bases
- MC70/MC250: Tack coats between existing surface and new overlay
- RC250: Rapid-cure surface dressings in dry conditions

Trusted Bitumen Suppliers Serving Durban,
eThekwini & KZN Contractors
Durban’s strategic position on South Africa’s east coast makes it the primary port entry for imported bitumen from the Middle East and Asia. This means Durban-based contractors benefit from shorter supply chains and more competitive pricing compared to inland alternatives. As a local supplier embedded in the KZN construction ecosystem, we maintain standing stock — reducing exposure to the global crude oil price volatility that frequently disrupts supply chains.

Frequently Asked Questions
What bitumen grades do you supply in Durban?
We supply all standard penetration grades (35/50, 50/70, 70/100, 160/220), Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB/SBS), cationic and anionic bitumen emulsions, cutback bitumen (MC30, MC70, RC250), and bitumen rubber blends — all SANS-compliant.
Do you deliver bitumen to Durban and KwaZulu-Natal?
Yes. We deliver across greater eThekwini, Pietermaritzburg, Richards Bay, and surrounding KZN regions. Metro Durban deliveries take 1–2 business days; regional KZN takes 3–5 days.
What is the minimum order quantity for bitumen?
Our minimum order is 1 tonne (approximately 5 × 200L drums). Bulk tanker delivery is available from 5 tonnes upwards for cost efficiency on larger road projects.
What SABS or SANS standards do your bitumen products comply with?
Our penetration grade bitumen complies with SANS 4001-BT1. Performance Graded (PG) binders comply with SATS 3208:2019, the current SABS specification for bitumen in South Africa.
How is bitumen pricing determined in South Africa?
Bitumen prices are linked to crude oil markets, specifically Brent crude and OPEC production levels. Locally, Construction Material Price Indices published by Stats SA track movements. We provide updated price quotes on request.
Which bitumen grade is best for KwaZulu-Natal road construction?
50/70 penetration grade is the most widely used in KZN for its performance balance in the warm, humid coastal climate. For heavily trafficked roads, PMB or 35/50 is recommended per SABITA Manual 2 guidelines.
Can I get bitumen for waterproofing applications?
Yes. Oxidised bitumen grades (80/100, 115/15) and modified bitumen membranes are available for roof waterproofing and bridge deck applications. These differ from road-grade bitumen in their oxidation level and stiffness.
Do you supply bitumen for eThekwini Municipality tenders?
Yes. We supply anionic and cationic bitumen emulsions, cutback bitumen, and road-grade binders suitable for eThekwini road maintenance tenders, including 36-month supply contracts.
What is bitumen emulsion and when should I use it?
Bitumen emulsion is bitumen dispersed in water using an emulsifier — it’s applied cold, without heating. It’s used for tack coats, prime coats, fog seals, slurry seals, and dust suppression on gravel roads.
What is the difference between PMB and standard penetration grade bitumen?
PMB (Polymer Modified Bitumen) is blended with SBS or EVA polymers to enhance elastic recovery, rutting resistance, and low-temperature cracking resistance. It is required on high-traffic or high-performance road surfaces where standard penetration grades would deform. Get a Quotation Now from your local Bitumen Suppliers Durban
