What is VISCOSITY GRADE Bitumen?

Viscosity grades Bitumen are categorized according to Viscosity degree of Fluidity. The higher the grade, the stiffer the Bitumen. This classification of bitumen is a more recent classification in comparison with penetration grade and is in seek of a higher quality of bitumen, which is mainly conducted at 60(DEG) and 135 (DEG) that are representing the temperature of road surface during summer and mixing temperature.

  • Bitumen Grade VG10
    • Application: road construction in cold regions, Ideal for spraying, Used in production of bitumen emulsion.
    • Packing: New Steel drums of 180 (+/-2kg), 150 (+/-2 kg)/200 (+/-2 kg), Jambo bags, Poly cube, poly bags, Bulk
  • Bitumen Grade VG30
    • Application: Road construction in hot regions, a wiser choice than Bitumen PEN 60/70.
    • Packing: New Steel drums of 180 (+/-2kg), 150 (+/-2 kg)/200 (+/-2 kg), Jambo bags, Poly cube, poly bags, Bulk
  • Bitumen Grade VG40
