bitumen VG30

description


Bitumen Grade VG 30 It is a kind of bitumen, which is produced during the process of oxidation of vacuum bottom in distillation tower and is categorized based on its viscosity grade. The main common usage of bitumen VG-30 is primarily used to construct extra heavy duty Bitumen pavements that need to endure substantial traffic loads. Also, VG30 is in road construction, waterproofing, building construction industries and also in cutback bitumen production. It can be used in lieu of 60/70 Penetration grade. It is the most suitable for use in hot and rainy weather condition and suitable to be used in mild regions.
Bitumen Grade VG 30 is a standard viscosity grade Bitumen usually used as a paving Bitumen suitable for road construction and other industrial purposes. Bitumen VG-30 is one of the grades in high demand, and oxidation of vacuum bottom in distillation tower is used to produce it. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used for hot mix especially in moderate climate. Bitumen Grade VG 30 it supplies under its offers is produced in compliance to and is in conformity to IS 73:2006 and meets the following specification requirements.

applications


The most common application of bitumen VG-30 is basically in constructing heavy duty Bitumen pavement projects that must withstand a significant traffic load. Also, VG30 is widespread in road construction, waterproofing, building construction subsidiary and also in cutback bitumen production. It can be a replacement for 60/70 Penetration grade as well. It is the most suitable for using in hot and rainy weather which can cause many problems in paving and also a good choice for mild regions.
