VG40 Bitumen Ultimate Solution for Extreme Heat and Heavy Traffic Roads & Infrastructure
High Hardness Heat and Heavy Traffic, Delivering Unstoppable Durability& IS 73 Compliance for Demanding Projects
What is VG-40 Bitumen?
VG-40 Bitumen is a high standards bitumen designed for extremely hot climates and heavy traffic and infrastructure projects. With a penetration range of 35 dmm and provides outstanding resistance to deformation and high temperature stability, making it a top choice for infrastructure projects requiring longevity and reliability. Ensuring the longevity and reliability of road surfaces
It delivers unmatched durability for
- High-traffic highways
- Bituminous Concrete
- Rehabilitation Projects
- Airport runways
- Urban Infrastructure
- Industrial Zones
Key Specifications
- Penetration Value (dmm): 35 (IS 1203)
- Softening Point (°C): 50 (IS 1205)
- Flash Point (°C): ≥ 220 (IS 1209)
- Solubility in Trichloroethylene: ≥ 99% (IS 1216)
Compliance
- IS 73 | NFPA 30 | ASME BPVC
Why PMB VG-40 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.Unmatched Load-Bearing Strength
- Endure heavy axle loads and extreme traffic volumes with ease.
- Perfect for high-traffic highways and airport runways.
2.Thermal Stability
- With a softening point of 50°C, it resists rutting even in the hottest climates.
3.Fast Setting Time
- Reduces project timelines with quicker curing.
4.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is ASTM VG-40 suitable for hot climates?
- Yes! With a softening point of 50°C, VG-40 resists heat-induced deformation
- Its superior stability eliminates the risk of rutting in hot conditions
Can VG-40 handle seasonal temperature swings?
Yes! It’s engineered to perform under both summer heat and moderate winter cold.
Does it comply with ASTM standards?
While optimized for IS 73, it meets equivalent ASTM D3381 parameters.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ: 1000 MT all types of packaging.
