Bitumen Penetration 40/60 is a hardness and consistency, making it a medium-hard bitumen ideal for various paving and construction applications. its properties across a wide range of temperatures, making it ideal for use in regions with extreme climatic conditions.
The characters’ meaning of the Bitumen penetration test
- Penetration Value: Indicates the hardness of the bitumen.
- Softening Point: The temperature at which bitumen softens.
- Ductility: The ability to stretch without breaking.
- Viscosity: Resistance to flow, crucial for application at different temperatures.
The penetration value of Bitumen 40/60, which ranges from 4.0 to 6.0 millimeters, indicates its consistency and hardness.

Application of Bitumen 40/60
bitumen penetration grade 40/60 boasts a range of capabilities that make it a versatile and reliable material in the construction industry. Its penetration value, which falls between 40 and 60 millimeters, indicates a medium-hard consistency, balancing flexibility and durability. This specific grade of bitumen is particularly suited for applications that demand resilience under moderate to heavy traffic conditions. It’s also serves as a primary binder in the production of hot mix asphalt (HMA) for road paving projects.
