Bitumen VG40

Bitumen VG40 Descriptions

Bitumen VG40, or Viscosity Grade 40 bitumen, is one of the special types of asphalt utilized in the construction of roads and for various general industrial purposes. It has high viscosity, excellent thermal stability, and good resistance to water; hence, it is very suitable for durable road surfaces that are required to bear heavy loads and harsh weather conditions.

Its strong adhesion ability gives it a great bonding with the aggregates, as reflected in the overall durability of the asphalt mixture. Apart from its application in road construction, VG40 is very useful in waterproofing and insulation in many respects. Its high quality and durability make it economical and of great value for the construction industry, finding essential uses in constructing infrastructure such as highways, runways, bridges, and industrial surfaces.

Application of Bitumen VG40

Applications Bitumen VG40 is used in important areas such as truck parking lots, near toll booths and intersections instead of previously used 30/40 Penetration grade. Due to the higher viscosity, stiffer Bitumen mixes can be produced in order to improve resistance to shoving and other issues related to heavy traffic loads and higher temperature.
