What Is Bitumen 10/20?

 Bitumen 30/40 is a hard penetration grade bitumen with a penetration value ranging from 30 to 40 at 25°C. Known for its high stiffness and low temperature susceptibility, Bitumen 30/40 is commonly used in hot climate regions and heavy-duty road construction requiring superior load-bearing strength.

Bitumen 30/40 is ideal for constructing highways, airport runways, and heavy-traffic roads in tropical and hot climate zones. Its firm consistency resists rutting and deformation under high temperatures and heavy axle loads. Bitumen 30/40 is also used in industrial applications and modified bitumen manufacturing processes.

Blackrock Bitumen manufactures premium Bitumen 30/40 that complies with international penetration, softening point, and ductility standards. Our Bitumen 30/40 is rigorously quality-tested to ensure consistent performance for contractors and infrastructure developers globally. Trust Blackrock Bitumen for specification-grade bitumen supply solutions.

    Frequently Asked Questions.

    Penetration Grade Bitumen 30/40 is a hard paving bitumen ideal for heavy traffic roads and high-temperature conditions.

    Penetration Grade 30/40 is a hard-grade bitumen with high stiffness, suitable for heavy-duty paving applications.

    It is widely used in road construction, airport runways, industrial pavements, and high-traffic areas.

    This grade performs best in hot climates where resistance to deformation and rutting is critical.

    It offers excellent load-bearing capacity, superior durability, and strong resistance to high temperatures.

    Yes, Black Rock Bitumen supplies Grade 30/40 in bulk, drums, and jumbo bags, meeting international quality standards.

    Bitumen 30/40 has a softening point of 55–63°C per ASTM D36, giving it strong resistance to softening and deformation in high-temperature environments.

    Bitumen 30/40 is slightly softer, with a penetration range of 30–40 (0.1mm) versus 10–20 for the harder grade, and a lower softening point (55–63°C vs 58–66°C). Both are hard grades used mainly as feedstock for oxidized bitumen or specialty industrial applications rather than direct road paving.

    Bitumen 30/40 is tested to ASTM standards, including ASTM D5 (penetration), ASTM D36 (softening point), ASTM D113 (ductility), ASTM D92 (flash point), and ASTM D2042 (solubility in trichloroethylene), with a minimum flash point of 250°C.
