Iraq Delivery Lead Times & Buffer Storage
Dispatched directly from our central climate-controlled warehouse in Sulaymaniyah or loaded on dedicated freight trailers to factory gates across all Iraqi governorates.
Laboratory Traceability & ASTM Standards
We eliminate processing uncertainties. Every single container, jumbo sack, and pallet of Bitumen Grades (60/70, 80/100) delivered by Birka is paired with the certified producer Certificate of Analysis (CoA), verifying Melt Flow Index, density, tensile strength, and moisture content.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bitumen Grades (60/70, 80/100)
QWhat is the difference between Bitumen 60/70 and Bitumen 80/100?
Bitumen 60/70 is a harder penetration grade (penetration 60-70 dmm) optimal for heavy-load highways and high summer temperatures. Bitumen 80/100 is softer (penetration 80-100 dmm), suitable for moderate traffic and cold climate regions.
QWhat packaging options are available for bitumen in Iraq?
We supply bitumen in new 180kg/200kg steel export drums, 1,000kg meltable jumbo polybags, and bulk heated road tankers (25-30 MT).
