Bitumen VG 30 Bitumen VG-30 is the most widely used bitumen for the construction of extra-heavy bitumen pavements that have to bear significant traffic loads. Importers prefer this type of bitumen because its performance in Indian road construction has been proven over the years of usage. It is also suitable in areas that have a high temperature. This bitumen is a popular grade of bitumen in India. Indian importers prefer this type of bitumen. Bitumen grade Vg 30 is also used for plastic roads in India. The current Bitumen VG 30 rate in India is Rs. 38870. The price of VG 30 may vary when bought in bulk. If Bitumen VG 30 is bought in bulk, it might come up to a cheaper rate depending on the producer. VG 30 bitumen has good thermal susceptibility. VG30 is used in areas that have a higher temperature. This bitumen is also suitable for use in hot and rainy weather conditions instead of bitumen penetration grades. It has also been proven, the more viscous the bitumen, the lower the chances of it getting affected by water. According to the viscosity bitumen classification, 30 in VG 30 bitumen means the range of viscosity in terms of Poise. Advantages Of Bitumen VG 30 : 1. It is suitable for temperature above 30◦C
2.
It has good thermal susceptibility
3. It is proven to work more efficiently than penetration grade bitumen 60/70, because it is tested more carefully. 4. The bitumen temperature of VG-30 ranges between 150⁰C-165⁰C and the laying temp is 140⁰C Applications Of Bitumen VG 30:
1. Bitumen VG-30 is widely used in road construction, insulation, building construction industries
2.
It is more suitable for road construction in hot and rainy weather conditions
3.
In production of Cutback Bitumen and waterproofing
