Bitumen VG10
Bitumen VG-10 is a premium-grade paving bitumen with a relatively low viscosity, suitable for light to medium traffic roads and moderate climate conditions. Its optimal flow properties and moderate stiffness ensure easy handling during asphalt mixing and paving operations while providing sufficient durability and adhesion for standard road surfaces.
