Product Overview
Penetration Bitumen 40/50
Penetration Bitumen 40/50 is another semi-hard grade bitumen that is commonly known as cable grade.
This grade, like other grades of penetration bitumen, is named according to the degree of penetration of the needle in the bitumen at a certain ambient temperature.
The softness or hardness of the penetration bitumen is dependent on the temperature, higher temperatures cause softer bitumen and lower temperatures cause harder bitumen.
Lower penetration grades are preferred in warmer regions, and higher penetration grades are preferred in colder regions.
Penetration Bitumen 40/50 Technical Properties
Paving Bitumen 40/50 is a viscous, hard-grade bitumen refined from selected crude oils. It has a penetration range of 40 to 50 dmm at 25°C, offering high rigidity, heat resistance, and structural stability. These properties make it ideal for high-traffic roads and hot weather paving projects, where resistance to deformation and fatigue is essential.
