BlackRock Bitumen: Viscosity Grade Bitumen VG40
The development of road infrastructure requires materials that go beyond the basic performance – they will face excessive climate, withstand tremendous traffic congestion and maintain flexibility over time. In different classes of Bitumen, the Vg40 stands out as a binder with high damping to meet the most difficult construction challenges. This character is specially designed for heavy applications where durability and long-term flexibility are non-parasis.

In Blackrock, we offer the VG40 bitumen that matches BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards), 73: 2013 with specifications, make sure your road projects are supported by stability, strength and better thermal stability.
What Is VG40 Bitumen?
VG40 (Viscosity Grade 40) bitumen is a highly viscous asphalt binder used primarily in regions with high traffic loads or high temperatures. As per viscosity grading, the number “40” indicates its absolute viscosity range (in poise) at 60°C, which should be between 3200–4000 poise.
This bitumen is a non-penetrating, thermoplastic material that softens when heated and hardens when cooled, making it ideal for creating flexible yet durable pavement structures.
