Alkenza supplies viscosity grade bitumen VG 10 for spraying applications, surface dressing, and cold climate road construction. Low viscosity formula ideal for penetration work and tack coating. FOB and CIF delivery available with 24-hour quote response.
VG 10 bitumen is a viscosity grade bitumen specifically designed for road construction and asphalt production. The viscosity grading system measures bitumen's resistance to flow at specific temperatures, providing a more accurate predictor of performance during mixing and application compared to traditional penetration grading.
VG 10 falls at the lower end of the viscosity grade spectrum, making it ideal for spraying applications and cold climate conditions. With a viscosity range of 800–1200 Poises at 60°C, it flows more easily at application temperatures, reducing energy costs and improving spray patterns.
While penetration grade bitumen (like 60/70) classifies asphalt by penetration depth at 25°C, viscosity grading classifies by viscosity at 60°C — the temperature most relevant to road surface conditions. This makes VG grades particularly useful for:
The viscosity grading system is mandated in India and several South Asian markets under Bureau of Indian Standards, making VG 10 a preferred choice for contractors working on government infrastructure projects in these regions. Explore all bitumen grades →

| Drop in Penetration after Heating | IS 1213 | Max 20% |
VG 10 viscosity grade bitumen is specifically engineered for applications requiring excellent sprayability and cold climate performance. As a road binder and asphalt binder, it serves multiple infrastructure construction needs.
VG 10's low viscosity makes it ideal for spray applications including tack coating, prime coating, and surface dressing. Its excellent flow properties ensure uniform coverage and adhesion.
Perfect for surface dressing operations where bitumen is sprayed and covered with aggregate. VG 10 provides excellent adhesion between aggregates and existing pavement surfaces.
VG 10 is specifically rated for cold climate conditions where lower viscosity ensures proper mixing and coating even at lower temperatures. Ideal for high-altitude regions.
