VG40 Bitumen – High Viscosity Grade Bitumen for Heavy Load Asphalt Roads

VG40 Bitumen is a high-performance viscosity grade bitumen designed for roads with extreme loading conditions and very hot climates. It is the stiffest among VG grades and is used in expressways, industrial areas, and airport pavements. As a specialized Iranian VG40 Bitumen supplier, we export high-purity VG40 from Iran and Iraq ports with full packaging and documentation support.

Product Description

VG40 bitumen, also known as Viscosity Grade 40, has a viscosity range of 3200–4000 poise at 60°C, offering exceptional resistance to rutting and thermal cracking. It is ideal for high-temperature regions and projects that involve heavy axle loads such as highways, container yards, and urban roads. VG40 is equivalent to a stiff penetration grade like 30/40 but offers better temperature performance and durability.
