Confirmed packaging specification, bag construction, grade considerations and the technical documentation buyers should confirm before ordering.
Bagged bitumen is bitumen supplied in a confirmed packaging format rather than by bulk tanker or drum. The bitumen itself its grade, and its penetration, viscosity or performance characteristics is unchanged by the packaging format; what changes is how it’s contained, handled and transported.
This page sets out the confirmed technical specification for Tiger Bitumen’s bagged product, distinguishes what’s fixed from what depends on the grade or order, and lists what buyers should confirm before placing an order.

This is the only confirmed Bitumen Bags packaging format. Bitumen grade and shipping method vary by order confirm both with the export team as part of your RFQ.
The bag has two confirmed components: the bag itself woven polypropylene (PP), the standard outer material used across the bulk bag industry and the steel cage, which houses it and provides structural support for handling and transport of the full 1,000 kg load.
Functionally, the steel cage is what allows the unit to be handled as a rigid, supported load using standard forklift or crane equipment, rather than as a soft-sided flexible bag alone.
Cage dimensions, cage material grade, and bag liner specification aren’t published confirm these with the export/technical team if your project requires that level of detail.
Bagged bitumen is supplied to the same grade specifications as Tiger Bitumen’s wider product range. Packaging format doesn’t change the bitumen’s technical properties grade selection is independent of packaging.
Bitumen grades are generally classified by standard test properties:
Bagged-format availability for these isn’t confirmed grade by grade, so confirm with the export team for any grade outside the core two lines.
Exact technical values for a specific order penetration or viscosity test results, softening point, and other certificate data are confirmed via the Certificate of Analysis issued for that shipment. These are grade and batch specific and aren’t published as a general specification.
The steel-caged 1 MT bag is typically handled using forklifts or cranes, consistent with standard warehouse and site equipment capable of moving a 1 Metric Ton load. Bags are placed on pallets during container loading as standard practice.
For the full handling, palletisation and container-loading process, see Packaging & Logistics.
Store the 1 MT bag under cover, protected from direct weather exposure, excessive heat and contamination. Storage needs can vary by grade and local climate the export team can advise on storage guidance for your specific order.
Detailed storage specifications maximum stacking height, ambient temperature range, shelf life aren’t published. Confirm these with the export team if your project has specific storage requirements.
Buyers may request the following as part of a bagged bitumen order:
Exact document sets can vary by destination and buyer requirement confirm which documents your order needs with the export team.
A 1 Metric Ton (1,000 kg) PP Woven Bag in Steel Cage. This is the only confirmed packaging format, with a minimum order quantity of 1 Metric Ton.
Woven polypropylene (PP), housed in a steel cage. Further construction detail liner, cage material grade, cage dimensions should be confirmed with the export team.
It houses the PP bag and provides structural support for handling and transport of the full 1,000 kg load, allowing it to be moved with standard forklift or crane equipment.
No. The bitumen's grade and technical characteristics are determined by the product itself, not by how it's packaged.
Penetration Grade and Oxidized Bitumen are Tiger Bitumen's confirmed core bagged product lines. Other grades in Tiger Bitumen's wider range aren't confirmed grade by grade for bagged format confirm with the export team.
It indicates the bitumen's penetration range under standard test conditions in this case, a penetration value between 60 and 70.
Exact test results are provided via the Certificate of Analysis issued for your shipment, since these values are grade and batch specific.
Typically a Certificate of Analysis, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, and Certificate of Origin, with an SGS inspection report where required.
