Penetration grade bitumen 40/50

Penetration Grade Bitumen 40/50 is a harder paving-grade bitumen designed for road construction projects exposed to high temperatures and heavy traffic loads.

Kiapetro supplies and exports bitumen 40/50 for international infrastructure projects requiring enhanced stiffness, durability, and resistance to deformation. This grade is commonly selected for highways, industrial roads, and asphalt layers where long-term performance under demanding conditions is critical.

Penetration Grade Bitumen 40/50 specification

penetration grade bitumen 40/50 is utilized as an asphalt paving grade, suitable for road construction and preservation as well as for creating asphalt pavement with the following technical specifications. This type of penetration grade bitumen is primarily used in the production of hot mix asphalt for bases and surface

Penetration Grade Bitumen 40/50 is a specific category of bitumen characterized by a penetration value ranging from 40 to 50 tenths of a millimeter (4.0 to 5.0 millimeters). This measurement indicates the firmness of the bitumen and its suitability for various applications in road building and industrial applications.

Application of bitumen grade 40/50

The bitumen is generated during the oxidation process of the vacuum bottom in bitumen production facilities. Because of its significant air-blowing and penetration characteristics, it is utilized in warm, tropical regions. It remains stable at elevated temperatures and retains its properties.

Cost-efficiency and price of bitumen 40/50 

The cost efficiency of penetration grade bitumen 40/50 is attributed to its flexibility and minimal upkeep needs. Although the initial investment may be higher compared to other materials, its long-term proficiency and reduced need for repairs have resulted in overall costs.

 The price of this product varies due to different materials, the amount of the needed materials, and its grades. For further information on bitumen’s 40/50 price and application visit Kiapetro website.
