Bitumen 40/50
Bitumen 40/50 is a high-quality penetration grade bitumen widely used in road construction and asphalt paving projects across warm and tropical climates.
Manufactured through advanced refining and controlled processing, this grade ensures superior adhesion, stability, and long-term pavement performance.
With a lower penetration value and higher softening point, Bitumen 40/50 provides enhanced resistance to deformation under heavy loads and high ambient temperatures.
Key Features
Excellent resistance to rutting and cracking
Stable performance under high temperatures
Superior adhesion with aggregates
High flash point ensuring safe handling and transportation
Applications
Road and highway construction
Hot mix asphalt (HMA) production
Heavy-duty pavements and airport runways
Industrial uses such as waterproofing and insulation
