Description of Bitumen AC40
Asphalt Cement (AC) 40 Or Bitumen AC40 is a highly viscous bitumen grade designed for road construction and maintenance in extremely hot climates.
It offers unparalleled durability, flexibility, and resistance to deformation, making it the ideal choice for constructing high-performance road surfaces under the most challenging conditions.
AC -40 bitumen is renowned for its exceptional binding properties, ensuring that pavements can withstand extreme environmental stresses and heavy traffic loads, providing a reliable and long-lasting solution for critical infrastructure projects.
Bitumen AC40 Application
This kind of bitumen is suitable to be used for road construction projects in warm & dry regions. Also, it can be used for producing some kind of asphalt primer.
Also, Bitumen AC40 is used in road construction, surfacing, and some industrial applications and manufacture asphalt mixes, bitumen emulsion, cut-back bitumen, and modified bitumen.
Packing
Bitumen AC 40 supplied in 10-30 ton heated jacketed tanker. In liquid form at 150 °C when leaves our factory. It can be supplied in bulk kinematic (tankers) and in 200 Lit. used steel drums, reheating should be carried by customer or end user.
