Bitumen in Drums, Big bags and Bitutainers

In 2014, Cepsa started producing and marketing bitumen in drums and big-bags (all the EN and ASTM specifications on the market, including modified bitumen and emulsions). This was in response to the growing demand from our customers, mainly French, Portuguese and Chinese construction companies heavily involved in Africa.
Our factory situated in Tarragona performs the process on bitumen taken from our refinery in Tarragona (Spain, located on the Mediterranean, very close to Barcelona).

New Steel Drums

Ideal for countries without access to the sea. Easy to transport and easy to melt down using a drum smelter (Cepsa does not market the smelter but we can put you in contact with the major manufacturers in the sector).

The drums are new and manufactured from steel in Spain with a net capacity of 230 kg.

We place 80 palletised drums in a 20’ sea container to ensure their safety during transport, avoiding the risks of damage and breakage so common in products from our Persian Gulf competitors.

Specifically, we are able to dispatch 18.4 – 18.8 metric tons of bitumen in a 20’ container.

Cepsa bitumen bags

Increasingly popular solution demanded as a substitute to our bitu-containers and drums as no waste is generated and we are able to pack a greater amount of bitumen into a 20’ container.

All that is needed, similarly to the drums, is a bag melter (Cepsa does not market the incinerator but we can put you in contact with the major manufacturers in the sector).

Cepsa has developed a unique system that protects the Big-bag (composed of two layers, the outer of raffia and the inner of polyethylene) from damage during shipping and subsequent handling at its destination.

While it is true that this system (composed of a tightly strapped wooden box) is slightly more expensive than the traditional bag systems used by our competitors, our experience has shown that our system prevents greater losses due to product spillage within the container or the clean-up of bags punctured during transport, which are extremely expensive.

Currently, we can load 20 of the bags shown in the picture below into a 20’ container, the average weight of each bag being some 1075 kg means that we can load more than 21 metric tons into a container.

The Cepsa industrial bitumen range (INDUSFALT) is aimed at different industries such as the chemical or automotive sectors (waterproofing and soundproofing). It is also used as the base for the manufacture of emulsions and modified bitumens.

It is sold in tanks (France and Portugal) as well as in sacks of 20 kg in all other countries.
