What is "bitumen"?

Bitumen is a thick, black, sticky substance that is often used in construction and paving. It is a form of petroleum and is commonly found in road construction as an adhesive material for asphalt. Bitumen is also used for waterproofing, sealing roofs, and as a protective coating for pipes. It is known for its durability and resistance to water and weathering, making it ideal for applications that require a strong, weather-resistant seal. It can be applied in liquid form or as solid sheets and is heated before use to make it easier to work with.
