Bitumen is composed of complex hydrocarbons and heteroatoms like sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen. Structurally, it consists of Asphaltenes (high molecular weight solids providing stiffness), Resins (semi-solids aiding in flow), Aromatics (oily components contributing to viscosity), and Saturates (waxy oils enhancing fluidity).
