Description
Bitumen VG30 – Premium Viscosity Grade Export & Supply
At Call2Supply, we are a leading global supplier and direct exporter of Bitumen VG30 (Viscosity Grade 30), delivering high-purity petroleum asphalt directly from premier refineries, including Jey Oil Refining Co and Pasargad Oil Co. Engineered specifically to handle higher ambient temperatures and heavy axle loads, this product is widely recognized as the standard asphalt binder for modern highway construction and pavement engineering.
Whether you are an asphalt plant operator, road contractor, or regional distributor looking for reliable Iranian Bitumen Exporters, Call2Supply offers end-to-end export logistics, flexible packaging solutions, and competitive FOB/CFR pricing worldwide. You can also explore our complete guide on Iranian bitumen grades and specifications for in-depth technical comparisons.
What is Viscosity Grade Bitumen VG30?
Bitumen VG30 is a standard viscosity-grade asphalt binder characterized by its kinematic viscosity rating at 60°C. Unlike traditional penetration-grade bitumen (which is tested at 25°C), Viscosity Grade bitumen is graded at 60°C to reflect real-world summer pavement temperatures. The designation “VG30” specifies an absolute viscosity range of 2400 to 3600 Poise at 60°C.
This high viscosity ensures that the asphalt mix maintains superior stiffness during hot weather, preventing common road failures such as rutting, shove, and surface bleeding under heavy truck traffic.
If your project requires different penetration values or extreme-duty viscosity grades, explore our full portfolio of export-grade asphalt:
- Bitumen 60/70: Standard penetration grade for temperate climates and medium traffic roads.
- Bitumen 80/100: Soft penetration grade designed for cold climates to prevent thermal cracking.
- Bitumen VG-40: Heavy-duty viscosity grade engineered for extra-heavy traffic loads and extreme heat conditions.
Technical Specifications & Certificate of Analysis (COA)
Every export shipment of Bitumen VG30 supplied by Call2Supply complies with IS 73:2013, ASTM, and AASHTO standards to guarantee consistent batch quality:
- Absolute Viscosity at 60°C: 2400 to 3600 Poise
- Kinematic Viscosity at 135°C: Min 350 cSt
- Flash Point (Cleveland Open Cup): Min 220°C
- Solubility in Trichloroethylene: Min 99.0%
- Penetration at 25°C (100g, 5s): Min 45 dmm (Typically 50-70 dmm)
- Softening Point: Min 47°C
- Viscosity Ratio at 60°C (After Thin Film Oven Test): Max 4.0
- Ductility at 25°C After TFOT: Min 40 cm
Note: An official refinery Certificate of Analysis (COA) issued directly by Jey Oil or Pasargad Oil is supplied with every cargo. Independent third-party inspection (SGS/Geo-Chem) is available at loading port upon request.
Primary Applications of Bitumen VG30
Due to its high thermal stability and structural durability, Bitumen VG30 is widely used in major civil engineering projects:
- Heavy Traffic Road Paving: Ideal binder for national highways, expressways, urban arterial roads, and airport runways subjected to heavy traffic loads.
- Hot Climate Asphalt Mixes: Formulated specifically for Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) in regions with ambient summer temperatures consistently reaching 30°C to 45°C.
- Pavement Maintenance & Intersections: Used in busy intersections, bus stops, and toll plazas to prevent surface pushing and rutting deformation.
- Industrial Waterproofing & Emulsions: Serves as a high-grade base material for specialized waterproofing membranes and industrial bituminous coatings.
