VG-10 is mostly used in spraying applications such as surface dressing and Paving in very cold climate instead of 80/100 penetration bitumen grade. It is also used to produce Bitumen Emulsion and Modified Bitumen products.
Application of Bitumen Viscosity grade VG 10
Viscosity Grade Bitumen (Asphalt) VG10 is a Bitumen grade mostly used as a Paving Grade and it’s suitable for road construction and for the asphalt pavements producing with premier attributes. VG Bitumen is usually used in the production of hot mix asphalt.
Bitumen VG 10 Specification
Kiapetro guarantees that the Bitumen VG10 is produced in compliance and conformity to International of Standard ASTM D3381-09, AASHTO M226-80 (2008) and IS 73:2006, also meets the requirements of the following specification.
