About BitumenHide

Name:
The expression "bitumen" originated in the Sanskrit words jatu, meaning "pitch", and jatu-krit, meaning "pitch creating" or "pitch producing" (referring to coniferous or resinous trees). The Latin equivalent is claimed by some to be originally gwitu-men (pertaining to pitch), and by others, pixtumens (exuding or bubbling pitch), which was subsequently shortened to bitumen, thence passing via French into English. From the same root is derived the Anglo-Saxon word cwidu (mastix), the German word Kitt (cement or mastic) and the old Norse word kvada. (Wikipedia)
A sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid to solid form of Petroleum. It may be applied to the substance found in natural deposits (crude bitumen) or may be a refined product. It is a substance also classed as asphalt, pitch or asphaltum (term used before the 20th century).
Commonly differentiated from other organic matter in sediments (eg Kerogen) by its solubility in organic solvents.

In comparison, pyrobitumen is brittle, infusible and relatively insoluble.
