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

1. What makes VG Bitumen superior to penetration grade bitumen? 
   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.
    
2. Which VG grade should I use for highway construction? 
   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.
