VG-40 Bitumen

Overview:
VG-40 is the hardest grade of viscosity bitumen, specifically designed for high-stress areas. It is suitable for regions with extreme weather and heavy traffic such as highways, airports, and industrial areas.

Key Features:

• Highest viscosity and stiffness among VG grades

• Superior load-bearing capacity

• Resistant to rutting and deformation

• Excellent performance under extreme weather

Applications:

• Used in expressways, highways, airports, container yards

• Suitable for industrial areas with heavy machinery movement

• Recommended for tropical regions with high temperatures

Technical Advantage:

VG-40 ensures maximum stability, even under very heavy traffic and extreme temperatures, making it the top choice for premium road infrastructure.

🔎 Quick Explanation of Terms

• Viscosity → Thickness of bitumen (flow resistance).

• Penetration → Hardness/softness of bitumen (higher = softer).

• Softening Point → Temperature at which bitumen starts to soften.

• Ductility → Ability to stretch without breaking (shows flexibility).

• Flash Point → Safety test; temperature at which bitumen gives off vapors that can ignite.

• Solubility → Purity of bitumen (should be ≥ 99%).
