Bitumen 30/40 is an ideal choice for high performance asphalt pavements that require exceptional durability, structural strength, and reliable performance under demanding traffic and environmental conditions.
Bitumen 30/40 Formulation
Bitumen 30/40 is not made by a fixed chemical recipe it is produced from refinery vacuum Bottom and adjusted to reach 30–40 dmm penetration.
Main formulation or composition:
Component Approx Range
Asphaltenes 18–35%
Resins 25–40%
Aromatics 25–40%
Saturates 5–15%
Quality items usually include high softening point, strong viscosity, excellent adhesion, and high resistance to rutting for heavy duty asphalt roads.
Bitumen 30/40 Packing
Packing of our bitumen would be 180 kg new steel drums and 1000 kg Jumbo bags.
