About Bitumen VG-10 (80/100) Non Embossed
Bitumen VG-10 (Viscosity Grade-10), equivalent to penetration grade 80/100, is a standard paving-grade bitumen widely used in road construction and maintenance. This non-embossed variant refers to smooth-finish packaging or surface form, ensuring easy handling and uniform application. VG-10 bitumen is characterized by its medium viscosity, excellent adhesive properties, and consistent performance under moderate climatic conditions. It is particularly suitable for regions with relatively cooler temperatures and moderate traffic loads.
