Grade 30/40

Penetration Grade 30/40 is a high-performance bitumen with moderate hardness, ideal for applications requiring a balance between durability and flexibility. This grade is commonly used in regions with heavy traffic and moderate climatic conditions. The penetration range of 30 to 40 (measured in tenths of a millimeter) signifies its stiffness, making it a reliable choice for projects demanding long-term resilience.

Key Features of Penetration Grade 30/40

1. Balanced Rigidity and Flexibility:
   Provides the perfect combination of hardness and workability, ensuring durability without compromising ease of application.

2. Thermal Resistance:
   Designed to perform effectively in hot climates, preventing deformation and maintaining road stability.

3. Water-Repellent Properties:
   Offers excellent waterproofing, protecting the pavement structure from water infiltration and related damage.

4. High Load Tolerance:
   Withstands heavy vehicular traffic and axle loads, ensuring reliable performance over time.
