Viscosity Grade Bitumen

Viscosity Grade (VG) Bitumen

Viscosity Grade (VG) Bitumen is a high-performance industrial binder widely used across road construction, asphalt paving and waterproofing applications. Classified by its viscosity at defined temperatures, VG Bitumen provides superior consistency, thermal stability and long-term performance when compared with traditional penetration-grade variants.

FAQs

Q: What makes VG Bitumen superior to penetration grade bitumen?

A: VG Bitumen is defined by its viscosity, which ensures better thermal performance and consistent handling during application—unlike penetration grade, which can be unpredictable in varying temperatures.

Q: Which VG grade should I use for highway construction?

A: VG-30 and VG-40 are preferred for highways, depending on climate and traffic intensity. VG-40 is ideal for hot regions with high traffic loads.
