What is AC-40 bitumen?
AC-40 bitumen is the hardest grade in the asphalt cement viscosity classification, carrying a target viscosity of 4000 poises at 60°C. Engineered for the hottest climates and heaviest traffic loads, AC-40 bitumen provides maximum resistance to softening, rutting, and deformation under extreme conditions.
Engineers specify AC-40 bitumen for highways, airport pavements, and industrial zones facing intense heat and continuous heavy traffic. Its stiff, robust consistency helps AC-40 bitumen maintain structural integrity where softer grades would fail, ensuring long-lasting performance in the most demanding hot-climate paving applications available.
Black Rock Bitumen manufactures AC-40 bitumen to strict ASTM D3381 specifications, guaranteeing consistent viscosity, penetration, and dependable performance across every batch. Supported by rigorous quality control and reliable logistics, our AC-40 bitumen gives contractors a trusted binder for extreme-heat infrastructure projects.
