Superior Quality VISCOSITY BITUMEN , sourced from the best refineries, our bitumen meets international standards for quality and consistency.
these grades are vailable, VG 10, VG20, VG30, VG40
Standard Viscosity Grade Bitumen (AC-Grades), in which the Viscosity of the standard bitumen (asphalt) is measured at 60 C (140 F). RTFOT Viscosity Grade Bitumen (AR-Grades), in which the Viscosity of bitumen (asphalt) is measured at 60 C (140 F) after the roll on thin film oven test.
Viscosity grade bitumen have a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/ viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability and application temperatures of bitumen. In the Viscosity Graded Bitumen specifications further special emphasizes is placed on the Bitumen ductility.

Viscosity Grade Bitumen 10
Viscosity Grade Bitumen 10 Applications
Viscosity Grade Bitumen 10 (VG-10) is primarily used in a variety of applications due to its lower viscosity and relatively soft consistency. Here are some of its common applications:
Surface Dressing:
VG-10 is used for surface dressing of roads, which involves spraying the bitumen over the road surface followed by the application of aggregates. This process helps in providing a protective layer and restoring the surface texture.
Bitumen Emulsions:
VG-10 is suitable for manufacturing bitumen emulsions, which are used for road maintenance and construction. Emulsions allow for the bitumen to be used in a more fluid form without the need for heating, making it ideal for cold or damp conditions.
Seal Coats:
VG-10 is used in seal coat applications where it acts as a protective layer on existing asphalt pavements. Seal coating helps in preventing water infiltration, reducing oxidation, and improving the durability of the road.
Tack Coats:
VG-10 is applied as a tack coat, which is a thin layer of bitumen used to create a bond between the existing pavement surface and a new overlay. This ensures proper adhesion and prevents slippage between layers.
Paving in Cold Climates:
Due to its lower viscosity, VG-10 is well-suited for paving in regions with colder climates. It remains workable and flexible at lower temperatures, which helps in achieving a better compaction and smooth surface finish.
Bituminous Macadam:
VG-10 is used in bituminous macadam, a type of road construction material composed of bitumen and aggregates. This is typically used for the base or binder course in road construction.
Modified Bitumen:
VG-10 can be modified with polymers or other additives to enhance its properties for specific applications such as high-stress areas or regions with extreme weather conditions.
Cutback Bitumen:
VG-10 is also used in the production of cutback bitumen, which involves dissolving bitumen in a solvent to reduce its viscosity for ease of application at lower temperatures.
To grade the bitumen-based on viscosity BIS revised IS-73-1992 specifications (Viscosity at 60 C) and as such there are four grades VG-10, VG-20, VG-30 & VG-40. A few qualification tests like specific gravity, water content, ductility, loss on heating & fares breaking point were removed from IS:73-1992 as these tests do not have any relationship with the performance of the product.
Viscosity Grade Bitumen is widely used in spraying applications such as surface-dressing and paving in very cold climates. It is also used to manufacture bitumen emulsion and modified bitumen products.
Bitumen is a black, semi-solid or liquid substance with high viscosity produced by the non-destructive distillation of crude oil during petroleum refining. The core industry using bitumen is road construction (asphalt) and another significant field is the building industry (roofing membranes, water-proofing felts)
Bitumen 80/100 is a high-quality paving asphalt commonly used in road construction and infrastructure projects. With a balanced viscosity, it provides excellent durability, stability, and resistance to wear and tear, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh conditions.
