VG40

VG40 is a type of viscosity bitumen, which is classified according to viscosity. The viscosity of a substance is its resistance to flow. VG40 is bitumen with high viscosity, which means it is hard at normal temperatures and liquefies at high temperatures. These features make it resistant to wear and cracking at high temperatures.

Specifications of VG40 bitumen

Types of bitumen are classified based on viscosity, and VG40 bitumen is one of the types of viscosity bitumen. Viscosity is a fundamental property of bitumen that determines the behavioral state of the material at a certain temperature or a temperature range.
According to the classification of bitumen based on their viscosity, the absolute viscosity value in poise at 60°C or the kinematic viscosity in centistokes at 135°C has been determined, and certain technical standards have been determined for each of them.
Based on this classification, the viscosity value of VG40 bitumen is equal to 3200 and the degree of permeability of VG40 bitumen is between 40 and 60. Also, the softening point value of this bitumen is 50.

Application of VG40 bitumen

This type of bitumen is mostly used in road construction, insulation, building construction and production of liquid bitumen and is more suitable for use in areas with warmer weather.
In general, bitumen grades are divided based on their viscosity, and VG40 refinery bitumen is one of them, which is produced from the vacuum aeration of the distillation tower.
Refinery bitumen VG40 is used in high pressure areas such as intersections, near toll roads and truck parking as a replacement for old bitumen with a permeability of 30/40.
Considering that this type of bitumen has a high viscosity; For this reason, mixed hard bitumen can be produced to improve tensile strength and other related problems with higher temperature and heavy traffic loads.

VG40 bitumen is a type of bitumen that is classified according to its viscosity. The viscosity of a substance is its resistance to flow. VG40 bitumen has a high viscosity, meaning it is hard at normal temperatures and liquefies at high temperatures. This feature makes it suitable for applications that require resistance to wear and cracking at high temperatures

VG40 is used in the following applications:

Construction of asphalt in high traffic areas such as intersections, near toll roads and truck parking lots
Construction of surface coatings in areas that are subject to high wear
Construction of asphalt foundations in areas that are exposed to heavy traffic and high temperatures
Construction of reinforced concrete slabs with asphalt in areas that are exposed to heavy traffic and high temperatures
Here are some of the benefits of using VG40 bitumen:
abrasion resistance
Resistance to cracking
Ability to withstand heavy traffic load
Ability to withstand high temperatures
In general, VG40 bitumen is a practical material that is used in applications that require resistance to wear and cracking at high temperatures.
Some of the key differences between VG40 bitumen and other bitumen grades are:
Viscosity: VG40 has a high viscosity, while other grades of bitumen have a lower or medium viscosity.
Application: VG40 is suitable for applications requiring resistance to wear and cracking at high temperatures, while other bitumen grades are more suitable for other applications.
Technical characteristics: This bitumen has special technical characteristics that make it suitable for specific applications
