Bitumen VG 40
Advantage VG 40 Bitumen
VG-40 bitumen finds application in regions subjected to intense pressure from heavy traffic loads, notably in areas such as intersections, near toll booths, and truck parking lots. Its selection for these demanding environments stems from its high viscosity, which enhances resistance to common issues like shoving, particularly prevalent in locations experiencing both high temperatures and heavy traffic burdens.The elevated viscosity of VG-40 bitumen serves as a key attribute in mitigating the adverse effects of temperature fluctuations and heavy traffic, providing a more durable and reliable pavement solution compared to
conventional 40/50 penetration grade bitumen.
This higher viscosity acts as a safeguard against deformation and rutting, which are
common challenges encountered in areas subjected to heavy vehicular activity.Industries opt for VG-40 bitumen as a preferred alternative to 40/50 penetration grade
bitumen due to its superior performance under demanding conditions.
By leveraging VG-40,infrastructure developers can effectively address the unique challenges posed by
intersections, toll booths, and truck parking lots, ensuring the longevity and
structural integrity of the pavement despite the harsh environmental and traffic
conditions.
In essence, the utilization of VG-40 bitumen underscores a proactive approach to
pavement construction, wherein the selection of materials is tailored to address
specific challenges associated with high-pressure areas experiencing heavy traffic
loads. By opting for VG-40 over conventional alternatives, industries can enhance the
resilience and longevity of pavement infrastructure, ultimately contributing to safer
and more sustainable transportation networks.
Advantages
> It is suitable for a temperature above 40◦C
> It is a preferred type of bitumen when heavy traffic load is expected
> Due to its higher viscosity, this grade of bitumen efficiently improves pavement
resistance problems associated with higher temperatures and heavy traffic
loads
> The bitumen temperature of VG-40 ranges between 160⁰C-170⁰C and the laying temp is 150⁰C
Applications
> It works in areas with high traffic loads
> Well suited for road construction in hot weather
> In production of stiffer Bitumen mixes
> With its accuracy, predictability, and durability, VG-40 bitumen is the best choice for
road projects in India
> It is used for traffic level greater than 20 million Standard Axle (MSA)
