Bitumen VG40 – Heavy-Duty Viscosity Grade Export & Supply

At Call2Supply, we are a trusted global supplier and direct exporter of Bitumen VG40 (Viscosity Grade 40), delivering high-purity petroleum asphalt directly from top refineries, including Jey Oil Refining Co and Pasargad Oil Co. Specially formulated to withstand extreme pavement temperatures and heavy commercial axle loads, Bitumen VG40 is the ultimate binder for high-stress paving applications.

Whether you are an asphalt plant operator, infrastructure contractor, or distributor looking for reliable Iranian Bitumen Exporters, Call2Supply provides seamless export logistics, flexible packaging, and competitive FOB/CFR terms. To understand how viscosity grades compare across different projects, check our complete guide on Iranian bitumen grades and specifications.

What is Viscosity Grade Bitumen VG40?

Bitumen VG40 is an extra heavy-duty viscosity-grade asphalt binder characterized by its high absolute viscosity rating measured at 60°C. The designation “VG40” specifies an absolute viscosity range of 3200 to 4800 Poise at 60°C.

Due to its high stiffness and thermal resistance, Bitumen VG40 is specifically designed for regions with high ambient temperatures where softer asphalt binders are prone to rutting, shoving, and bleeding under heavy truck traffic.

If your project requires lower viscosity ratings or standard penetration grades, explore our full product range:

• 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 VG30: High-viscosity asphalt binder engineered for standard heavy-traffic pavements.

Technical Specifications & Certificate of Analysis (COA)

Every export cargo of Bitumen VG40 supplied by Call2Supply complies with IS 73:2013, ASTM, and AASHTO standards:

• Kinematic Viscosity at 135°C: Min 400 cSt

• Flash Point (Cleveland Open Cup): Min 220°C

• Solubility in Trichloroethylene: Min 99.0%

• Penetration at 25°C (100g, 5s): Min 35 dmm (Typically 40-60 dmm)

• Softening Point: Min 50°C

• Viscosity Ratio at 60°C (After TFOT): Max 4.0

• Ductility at 25°C After TFOT: Min 25 cm

Primary Applications of Bitumen VG40

Due to its high structural stability, Bitumen VG40 is extensively used in high-stress civil infrastructure:

1. Heavy Traffic Expressways: Ideal for national highways, heavy industrial corridors, and truck routes handling high axle loads.

2. Extreme Hot Climate Paving: Essential binder for regions experiencing severe summer heat (over 40°C) to eliminate pavement rutting.

3. High-Stress Zones: Used in airport runways, port terminals, busy intersections, and toll plazas to prevent pavement deformation.
