BITUMIX – locally manufactured sealant- catering to rubber plantation sector

BITUMIX, the flagship Bitumen company in Sri Lanka is ready with yet another star product in their product portfolio, catering to the Rubber Plantation sector. The company has recently established a modern manufacturing facility to produce high quality Bitumen based sealants for pasting rain guard covers above the tapping panel of the rubber tree. Rubber plantations are reported to be benefitted by pasting rain guards recommended by the Rubber Research Institute (RRI) of Sri Lanka, which facilitates continuous tapping even during rainy season and as a result the estimated annual latex production yield can be increased significantly.

 While the local Rubber sealant market has been dominated by imported products, BITUMIX is expanding their product portfolio with a focus to produce locally manufactured sealants conforming to the highest international quality standards using a modern processing facility, proven product recipes and high quality raw materials, thereby reducing the necessity of importing such products to the Country.

The introduction of this product facility by BITUMIX is very much in line with the Sri Lankan government’s drive to save all important foreign exchange during these challenging times.
