VG-40 bitumen is used in areas in which high pressure comes from heavy traffic loads, such as intersections, near toll booths, and truck parking lots. Due to the high viscosity of this bitumen, it is more appropriate for improving resistance to shoving and other problems associated with high temperatures and heavy traffic load. Industries use VG-40 instead of the 40/50 penetration grade bitumen.
It is suitable for a temperature above 40◦C
It is a preferred type of bitumen when heavy traffic load is expected
Due to its higher viscosity, this grade of bitumen efficiently improves pavement resistance problems associated with higher temperatures and heavy traffic loads
The bitumen temperature of VG-40 ranges between 160⁰C-170⁰C and the laying temp is 150⁰C
It works in areas with high traffic loads
Well suited for road construction in hot weather
In production of stiffer Bitumen mixes
With its accuracy, predictability, and durability, VG-40 bitumen is the best choice for road projects in India
It is used for traffic level greater than 20 million Standard Axle (MSA)

What is Bitumen Terms of Delivery?
We can Provide FOB shipments/Ex Port, CFR (Cost Freight Rate), CIF (cost Insurance & freight)
What are the benefits / advantages of VG Bitumen over Penetration Grade?
VG bitumen is globally preferred to penetration grades (30/40, 60/70, 80/100, and soon), mainly because it is tested and classified more accurately.
Do we have a ready-made chart to use various Bitumen Grades as per the temperature zones?
Yes, we have chart or test reports of every shipment as per viscosity, Penetration, Grade temperature & require product details.
How would you assure about the quality of Bitumen?
Our Bitumen is certified by Refineries & NABL& IIT Roorki laboratory also. We have in house Laboratory also & we do test of every shipment.
