    Bitumen - What you need to know

    Bitumen is a common binder used in road construction, and has a wide range of industrial uses. It is principally obtained as a residual product in petroleum refineries after higher fractions like gas, petrol, kerosene and diesel, etc., are removed.
    Black or brown, it varies from viscous to solid; the solid form is usually called asphalt. The term may also refer to any of the various flammable mixtures of hydrocarbons and other substances, occurring naturally or obtained by distillation from coal or petroleum, that are a component of asphalt and tar and are used for surfacing roads and for waterproofing.
