VG bitumen

Product Description

VG bitumen categorized according to Viscosity (degree of fluidity) grading. Furthermore viscosity tests conducted at *0°C & **5°C. It shows road surface temperature during summer and mixing temperature. Penetration at *5°C, also retained in Specs.
VG**0 is widely used in spraying applications such as surface-dressing and paving in very cold climate in lieu of old *0/**0 Penetration grade. It`s also uses in Bitumen Emulsion and Modified Bitumen. VG**0 is used for paving in cold climate & high altitude regions VG**0 is primarily used to construct extra heavy duty Bitumen pavements that need to endure substantial traffic loads. Also it can be used in lieu of Bitumen *0/*0. VG**0 is used in highly stressed areas such as intersections, near toll booths and truck parking lots in lieu of old *0/*0 Penetration grade. Due to its higher viscosity, stiffer Bitumen mixes can produced to improve resistance to shoving and other problems associated with higher temperature and heavy traffic loads. . According to viscosity (degree of fluidity) grading, higher the grade, stiffer the Bitumen. Furthermore VG Grade Bitumen can be done on original (as-supplied) asphalt binder samples ( AC grading). Also aged residue samples (AR grading). AR viscosity test is based on viscosity of aged residue from rolling thin film oven test.
