Bitumen VG40 is a standard viscosity grade bitumen usually used for heavy duty road construction and highly stressed areas to endure substantial traffic loads and high temperature as per following technical specification. Due to the higher viscosity of VG40,stiffer bitumen mixes can be produced to improve paving resistance to higher temperature and heavy traffic loads.
