Bitumen VG 30 is especially used to construct extra heavy duty Bitumen pavements that need to tolerate significant traffic loads. It can be used instead of 60/70 penetration bitumen grade.
Application of Bitumen Viscosity grade VG 30
Bitumen VG 30 is especially used to construct extra heavy duty Bitumen pavements that need to tolerate significant traffic loads. It can be used instead of 60/70 penetration bitumen grade. VG Bitumen is usually used in the production of hot mix asphalt.
Bitumen VG 30 Specification
Kiapetro guarantees that the Bitumen VG30 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.
