VG-30 Bitumen Engineered for High Heat and Heavy Traffic Performance
Reliable Durability for Heat and Heavy Traffic, Ensuring Unmatched Performance & IS 73 Compliance for Demanding Projects
What is VG-30 Bitumen?
VG-30 Penetration Grade Bitumen is a high-performance bitumen grade designed for use in hot climates and high-traffic road construction. With a penetration range of 45 dmm and it’s known for excellent resistance to deformation and high temperature stability. Its superior binding and durability ensure the longevity and reliability of road infrastructures
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Highway Construction
- Bituminous Concrete
- Waterproofing
- Port pavements
- Airport runways
- Industrial Zones
Key Specifications
- Penetration Value (dmm): 45 (IS 1203)
- Softening Point (°C): 47 (IS 1205)
- Flash Point (°C): ≥ 220 (IS 1209)
- Solubility in Trichloroethylene: ≥ 99% (IS 1216)
Compliance
- IS 73 | NFPA 30 | ASME BPVC
Why PMB VG-30 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.Excellent Adhesion
- Strong bonding with aggregates improves pavement lifespan.
4. Waterproofing
- Waterproofing prevents water infiltration and structural damage.
5.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
