Bitumen 30/40

Description of Bitumen 30/40

Bitumen Grade 30/40 is a semi-hard penetration grade bitumen primarily used in road construction, repair, and the production of asphalt pavements. It meets the specifications outlined for Penetration Bitumen 30/40, making it suitable for various applications.

This grade of bitumen is particularly employed in the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt for both base and wearing courses in road construction projects. The Penetration Grade Bitumen 30/40 supplied by ATDM is derived from the fractional/vacuum distillation of crude oil, ensuring its quality and reliability.

Penetration Grade bitumens are characterized by their penetration and softening point, which are determined through testing. The designation of the bitumen grade is based solely on the penetration range. These bitumens exhibit a thermoplastic property, meaning they soften at high temperatures and harden at lower temperatures. This unique temperature/viscosity relationship is crucial in determining the performance parameters such as adhesion, rheology, durability, and application temperatures of the bitumen.

By utilizing Bitumen Grade 30/40, road construction projects can benefit from its suitable characteristics, ensuring proper adhesion, desired flow properties, and long-lasting performance in different climatic conditions. The bitumen supplied by ATDM is produced from vacuum residue (short residue) feedstock, meeting industry standards and requirements.

Properties of Bitumen 30/40

The bitumen supplied by ATDM in penetration grade 30/40 is produced from vacuum residue (short residue) feedstock. Penetration grade bitumens are characterized by their penetration and softening point, which are determined through testing. These bitumens exhibit a thermoplastic property, resulting in softening at high temperatures and hardening at low temperatures. The temperature-stiffness relationship of bitumen is influenced by the source of crude oil and the refining process.

Bitumen penetration grade 30/40 is a semi-hard bitumen grade used as paving grade bitumen suitable for road construction, repair, and the production of asphalt pavements. It meets the technical specifications outlined below:

– Penetration: 30-40 (in units of 0.1 mm)

– Softening Point: Determined through testing

This grade of bitumen is primarily employed in the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt for bases and wearing courses in road construction projects. It provides the desired characteristics necessary for proper adhesion, flow properties, and long-lasting performance in various climatic conditions.

By utilizing bitumen grade 30/40, road construction and repair projects can benefit from its suitable properties, ensuring reliable performance and durability. The bitumen supplied by ATDM is produced to meet industry standards and requirements, providing a high-quality product for asphalt pavement applications.

Uses of Bitumen 30/40

Bitumen 30/40 finds application in various specialized scenarios, including airport runways and heavily trafficked roads in coastal cities. It is particularly suitable for areas where there is a significant temperature fluctuation, with a minimum and maximum temperature difference of 25°C.

The primary use of bitumen grade 30/40 is in the manufacturing of hot mix asphalt for base and wearing courses. By incorporating this grade of bitumen into the asphalt mix, it ensures the durability and performance required for road construction and repair projects.

In the context of specialized applications, such as airport runways, bitumen 30/40 offers the necessary characteristics to withstand the demanding conditions associated with aircraft operations. Similarly, in coastal cities with high traffic volumes, this grade of bitumen provides the strength and resilience needed to withstand the heavy loads and environmental factors.

Overall, bitumen 30/40 is chosen for its suitability in specific scenarios where durability, temperature stability, and resistance to heavy traffic are essential. Its use in airport runways and heavily trafficked coastal roads reflects its ability to meet the demanding requirements of such applications.
