Asphalt

• CAT Number: I022553
• CAS Number: 8052-42-4
• Purity: 98%
• Synonyms: Asphalt; Bitumen; Asphalt fumes; Dacholeum
• Solubility: Soluble in DMSO
• Appearance: Solid powder

Asphalt (Cat.No:I022553), also known as bitumen, is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid form of petroleum. It is commonly used in road construction, roofing, and waterproofing applications. Asphalt is obtained from crude oil through the process of distillation, and its properties can vary depending on the source and processing method.
