Applications
The most common application of bitumen VG-30 is basically in constructing heavy duty Bitumen pavement projects that must withstand a significant traffic load. Also, VG30 is widespread in road construction, waterproofing, building construction subsidiary and also in cutback bitumen production. It can be a replacement for 60/70 Penetration grade as well. It is the most suitable for using in hot and rainy weather which can cause many problems in paving and also a good choice for mild regions.
