Penetration grade bitumen is a straight run bitumen specified by the penetration and softening point test. Penetration bituminous asphalt soften at high temperature and harden at low temperature due to Having thermoplastic property. Penetration grade asphalt is manufactured by vacuum distillation of crude oil. The most common grade is bitumen 60/70 which can be used for many applications. The penetration bituminous asphalt with high penetration  numbers which are soft, mostly used in cold weather conditions and hard bituminous asphalt (low penetration number) can be used for warm weather condition.

The bitumen penetration grade 200/300 is a standard penetration grade, with penetration between 200 and 300 usually used as paving grade bitumen.Which is moastly used in road construction, asphalt pavement and manufacter of hot-mix asphalt. It designed by it`s penetration range only.
