Bitumen is mainly used as an adhesive in asphalt, which plays a very important role in road construction and sealing at landfills and hydraulic engineering. This important material has many roles in the world, for example, its other application is the production of roofing membranes and waterproofing for flat roofs and waterproofing of buildings. Bitumen is also used in many areas outside the construction industry because it has the effect of thermal insulation and sound absorption, which reduces foot noise.
