Bitumen VG-30 (60/70) Non Embossed

About Bitumen VG-30 (60/70) Non Embossed

Bitumen VG-30 (60/70) Non-Embossed is a viscosity-grade paving bitumen widely used in road construction and infrastructure development. It is derived from crude oil refining and exhibits excellent thermoplastic propertiessoftening at high temperatures and hardening at low temperaturesensuring durability under varying climatic conditions.

This grade corresponds closely to traditional penetration grade 60/70 but is classified based on viscosity, offering better consistency and performance across temperature ranges. It is particularly suitable for heavy traffic roads, highways, expressways, and industrial pavements, where high load-bearing capacity and resistance to deformation are required.

Non-embossed bitumen refers to standard bulk or drum-packed material without branding embossing, making it cost-effective and widely used for bulk projects and export supply chains.

Key Specifications (Typical)

VG-30 is graded based on viscosity rather than penetration, ensuring more reliable performance under real service temperatures.

Applications

Bitumen VG-30 (60/70) is widely used in:

• Road construction (flexible pavements)
• National highways & expressways
• Airport runways and taxiways
• Bridge decks and industrial flooring
• Asphalt mix production (Hot Mix Asphalt)
• Pavement rehabilitation and overlays
• Waterproofing and construction works
• Bitumen emulsion and cutback production

Functions

Bitumen VG-30 performs several critical roles in construction:

• Binding Agent Binds aggregates in asphalt mix
• Waterproofing Material Prevents water penetration
• Load Distributor Transfers traffic loads evenly
• Flexibility Provider Adapts to temperature changes
• Surface Protector Enhances durability of roads
