Overview
VG Bitumen 30, or Viscosity Grade 30 Bitumen, is high-quality bitumen for applications in road construction, hot mix asphalt, and industries. It is highly viscous with high adhesion capacity. VG 30 is best suited for areas that have high traffic flow and huge variations in temperatures. VG 30 provides the maximum resistance against deformation and cracking, giving long-lasting and tough asphalt surfaces.
What is VG Bitumen 30?
VG 30 is one of the viscosity grading system under which bitumen is graded based on its 60°C viscosity. As the viscosity of VG 30 is higher, VG 30 is heat and pressure resistant and hence widely used for construction works such as national highways, airport runway, and heavy road works. It also has use in roofing, waterproofing, and industrial use.
Applications of VG Bitumen 30
VG Bitumen 30 is generally used for heavily trafficked road construction and maintenance, highways, and city roads. Due to its higher viscosity, it shows excellent resistance to deformation and rutting under heavy traffic conditions and therefore is a prime candidate for hot mix asphalt for tropical and hot climates.
Other than roads, VG 30 is used for airport runway construction, parking lots, and industrial pavements. Apart from that, it is employed in waterproofing foundations, roofs, and protection of underground construction. It also has use in the production of bitumen emulsions, paints, coatings, and adhesives.
