| As everybody knows in this field, Iran has one of the best and highest bitumen qualities among other countries who own oil sources in globe. The nature of Iran’s bitumen is highest and unique. We are one of the exporters of Bitumen who provide and supply this material according to N.I.O.C. specification and the only producer of special bitumen which are used in several aspects of technological products made from, such as MCs: MC 70- MC 120 and MC 250. In the following, you are able to learn more about the quality levels of our natural bitumen: |
