Bitumen AC-10 AC-20 AC-30 AC-40|Bitumen AR 1000 to 16000

Bitumen AC-10 / Bitumen AC-20

Standard Viscosity Grade Bitumen AC , in which the Viscosity of the standard bitumen (asphalt) is measured at 60 degrees C (140 degrees F). It is usually used as a Paving Grade Bitumen suitable for road construction and for the production of asphalt pavements with superior properties. This grade of Bitumen is mainly used in the manufacture of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses, and possesses characteristics and qualities unique sand quite different from other agents. They achieve very flexible and tenacious connections with other materials due mainly to viscoelastic response of bitumen, which behavior depends on how fast charges are applied.

Bitumen AR grade

RTFOT Viscosity Grade Bitumen (AR-Grades), in which the Viscosity of bitumen (asphalt) is measured at 60 degrees C(140 degrees F) after the roll on thin film oven test. Viscosity grade bitumen have a thermoplastic property which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/ viscosity relationship is important when determining the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability and application temperatures of bitumen. In the Viscosity Graded Bitumen specifications further special emphasizes is placed on the Bitumen ductility.
