Bitumen Penetration Grade 30/40 – PetroBNX

Bitumen Penetration Grade 30/40 is a high-quality asphalt derived from crude oil refining. This semi-hard bitumen, with adhesive and waterproofing properties, is ideal for road construction and repair projects. The penetration value of this bitumen ranges between 30 and 40 decimillimeters (0.3 to 0.4 millimeters), and it meets the ASTM standard. Its dark color and unique characteristics make it widely used in various applications such as waterproofing, insulation, and particularly in road construction.

Features of Bitumen 30/40

Bitumen Grade 30/40 exhibits thermoplastic properties, softening at higher temperatures and hardening at lower temperatures. Its softening point ranges between 55 and 63°C, making it suitable for regions with extreme temperature variations. This bitumen is non-volatile and softens gradually when heated, which enhances its durability and longevity. The quality of Bitumen 30/40 provided by PetroBNX is consistently high, ensuring it meets the demands of different applications.

Applications of Bitumen 30/40

Bitumen 30/40 is widely used in road construction, especially in tropical and hot regions with heavy traffic. It is suitable for paving base and wearing courses, airport runways, and also for waterproofing and insulation projects. Additionally, due to its excellent adhesion and temperature resistance, Bitumen 30/40 is an ideal choice for areas with a temperature range of up to 25°C between minimum and maximum.

Quality and Safety Guarantee

PetroBNX guarantees the quality of Bitumen Penetration Grade 30/40 by ensuring that it complies with international standards. The bitumen is closely monitored by international inspectors during production and loading, with quality control reports (QC) provided before shipment. The product also conforms to ASTM standards.

Packaging of Bitumen 30/40

Bitumen 30/40 is typically packaged in new steel drums with capacities of 150, 180, and 220 kg, as well as 1MT and 500kg Jumbo Bags or 300kg Bitubags. The product is also available in bulk and ready for loading from the factory to trucks.

Conclusion

Bitumen Penetration Grade 30/40, supplied by PetroBNX, offers excellent resistance to temperature fluctuations, long-lasting durability, and superior adhesion properties, making it one of the best choices for road construction and paving projects. It is highly suitable for use in hot, tropical regions with heavy traffic and is an essential material for various infrastructure projects.
