Le bitume est un terme générique décrivant les mélanges naturels de carbures d'hydrogène se présentant sous une forme visqueuse ou solide; dans l'industrie de la toiture le mot bitume signifie soit de l'asphalte soit du brai de goudron. À l'état solide ces matériaux se ressemblent mais leurs caractéristiques sont quelque peu différentes. La plupart de l'asphalte employé au Canada pour imprégner ou imperméabiliser les matériaux de couverture ou les toitures en terrasse provient de la distillation du pétrole suivie d'un certain raffinage lequel permet d'obtenir les propriétés que l'on désire. On trouve également des dépôts solides d'asphalte à l'état naturel dans certaines parties du monde. On obtient le brai de goudron en distillant des goudrons grossiers provenant de la carbonisation de la houille. La propriété qu'a le brai de goudron de couler à froid facilite le bouchage automatique des fissures mais elle empêche qu'on l'utilise sur des toits trop en pente. Sur les toits à faible pente on peut employer des asphaltes dont le point de fusion n'est pas élevé tandis que sur les toits à pente raide on peut employer des asphaltes dont le point de fusion est élevé. C'est pourquoi l'asphalte a davantage d'applications que le brai de goudron. 2, record 2, French, - brai%20%C3%A0%20couverture
