Properties & Benefits

Thermoplastic Nature

Thermoplastic Nature

VG bitumen softens at high temperatures and hardens at lower temperatures, allowing it to adapt to varying climatic conditions

Viscosity

Viscosity

Defined as the resistance to flow, measured at 60°C and 135°C. Higher VG numbers indicate higher viscosity and greater hardness

Penetration Value

Penetration Value

Indicates hardness; lower penetration means harder bitumen. For example, VG 30 has a penetration value of 50–70 (0.1 mm) at 25°C

Softening Point

Softening Point

The temperature at which bitumen softens; higher VG grades have higher softening points, making them suitable for hotter climates

Ductility

Ductility

Measures the ability to stretch without breaking. VG 30, for instance, typically has ductility of 100 cm at 25°C

Flash Point

Flash Point

Indicates the temperature at which vapors ignite; VG bitumen generally has a flash point above 220°C, ensuring safety during handling

Applications

Applications

  • VG 10 finds application in surface dressing in regions with cold/moderate temperature conditions

  • VG 30 finds application in dense bituminous macadam, binder and wearing courses, and moderate climates

  • VG 40 finds application in highways and roads with heavy traffic in regions with hot climates
