 is a mixture of organic liquids that are

highly viscous, black, sticky, entirely soluble in
carbon disulfide, and composed primarily of highly
condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
„ aturally occurring or M 
 is a sticky, tar-
like form of petroleum that is so thick and heavy that
it must be heated or diluted before it will flow. At
room temperature, it has a consistency much like
cold molasses. Refined 
 is the residual
(bottom) fraction obtained by fractional distillation
of crude oil. t is the heaviest fraction and the one
with the highest boiling point, boiling at 525 °C
(977 °F).

„ mitumen is primarily used in the production of

asphalt, which is mixed with mineral aggregates
to form paving materials. ts other uses are for
bituminous waterproofing products, including
the use of bitumen in the production of roofing
felt and for sealing flat roofs.
„ ost natural bitumen's contain sulfur and
several heavy metals such as nickel, vanadium,
lead, chromium, mercury and also arsenic,
selenium, and other toxic elements. mitumens
can provide good preservation of plants and
animal fossils.

„ aturally occurring crude bitumen

impregnated in sedimentary rock is the prime
feed stock for petroleum production from "oil
sandsDz
„ mitumen also is used in paint and marker inks
by some graffiti supply companies (primarily
olotow) to increase the weather resistance
and permanence of the paint and/or ink, and
to make the color much darker.

mixer can equipped with thermostatically controlled
heater.
he mixing head rotates in the 11 different
speed positions from 10 to 240 r.p.m. and the beater
from 20 to 480 r.p.m.
he user can choose speeds easily
by using switch fitted to the machine.
he mixeris made
of stainless steel and supplied complete with 10lt
