Bitumen 30/40

Description of Bitumen Penetration 30/40

Bitumen Penetration 30/40 is a suitable grade for dry climates and its penetration value, which ranges between 30 and 40.

Bitumen 30/40 Application

The main application of bitumen penetration 30/40 is in road construction. As we said, Its low-temperature susceptibility means it remains flexible in cold weather, reducing the risk of thermal cracking, while its high softening point ensures it maintains its shape and resists deformation in hot climates.

properties

Bitumen 30/40 has a softening point between 50°C to 60°C. This grade of bitumen provides excellent resistance to deformation under high temperatures and heavy loads.

Also, Its high viscosity ensures structural stability, while its moderate ductility allows it to withstand temperature fluctuations without cracking.

Common Questions

Is Bitumen 30/40 suitable for tropical or high-temperature climates?2025-07-24T08:54:42+00:00

Yes, Bitumen 30/40 is suitable for tropical or high-temperature climates due to its hardness and lower penetration value, which provides greater resistance to deformation and rutting under heavy traffic and heat.

How does Penetration Grade 30/40 compare with other bitumen grades like 60/70?2025-07-24T08:56:00+00:00

Penetration Grade 30/40 is harder and has a lower penetration value compared to grades like 60/70, making it more suitable for hotter climates and heavy traffic conditions.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for Bitumen 30/40?2025-07-24T08:58:42+00:00

The minimum order quantity (MOQ) for Bitumen 30/40 is typically 1 container (about 20–25 metric tons), depending on the packaging and destination.

Can you export Bitumen 30/40 to Africa, Asia, and Europe?2025-07-24T09:00:09+00:00

Yes, we export Bitumen Penetration Grade 10/20 to various countries across Africa, Asia, and Europe. destinations include:
