VG-20 Bitumen the Ideal Solution for Varying-Temperature Conditions, Light Traffic Roads & Infrastructure
Superior Performance for Varying Climates and Light Traffic, Offering Enhanced Durability and Flexibility, Delivering Unstoppable Durability & IS: 73 Compliance for Demanding Projects
What is VG-20 Bitumen?
VG-20 Penetration Grade Bitumen is a highly adaptable bitumen grade designed for moderate to warmer climates infrastructure projects. With a penetration range of 60 dmm Its balanced viscosity and excellent binding properties make it an ideal choice for creating durable road surfaces, varying traffic loads and environmental conditions, providing a reliable and long-lasting solution for infrastructure development
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Road construction
- Bituminous Concrete
- Bitumen Emulsion
- Pavement Maintenance
- Waterproofing
- Industrial zones
- Airport Runways
Key Specifications
- Penetration Value (dmm): 60 (IS 1203)
- Softening Point (°C): 45 (IS 1205)
- Flash Point (°C): ≥ 220 (IS 1209)
- Solubility in Trichloroethylene: ≥ 99% (IS 1216)
Compliance
- IS 73 | NFPA 30 | ASME BPVC
Why PMB VG-20 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.Optimized for Moderate Climates
- balanced consistency suitable for moderate to warmer climates.
2.Thermal Stability
- With a softening point of 45°C, ensuring it remains stable and effective at varying climate
3.Fast Setting Time
- Reduces construction time, allowing for faster project completion.
4.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 220°C ensures safe storage and transport.
