      40/60 bitumen is a penetration grade paving bitumen with a penetration value between 40 and 60 (0.1 mm at 25°C), indicating medium hardness.

      2. Where is 40/60 bitumen commonly used?

      It is widely used in:

      • Road and highway construction
      • Asphalt concrete mixes
      • Pavements with medium traffic loads
      • Urban and intercity roads

      40/60 is harder and more resistant to deformation than 60/70, making it better suited for higher temperatures and heavier traffic.

      • Good resistance to rutting
      • Durable under traffic stress
      • Stable performance in warm climates
      • Proven performance in paving applications

      Store in heated tanks at recommended temperatures, avoid overheating, and ensure contamination-free handling to maintain binder quality.
