Bitumen 30-50
Bitumen Penetration Grade 30/50 is a high‐quality paving bitumen derived from the vacuum distillation of crude petroleum. With a lower penetration range, this grade offers greater stiffness and superior resistance against traffic load, making it suitable for use in regions with hot climates and heavy traffic conditions.
Its durability, strong adhesion to aggregates, and excellent waterproofing properties make PG 30/50 the preferred binder for premium asphalt mixtures, road construction layers, and industrial applications.
