Alkenza supplies VG 30 viscosity grade bitumen for highway construction and heavy traffic road projects. VG 30 bitumen is classified by its viscosity at 60 degrees Celsius, providing superior resistance to deformation under high temperatures and loads. Available in steel drums, jumbo bags, and bulk tanker with FOB and CIF delivery worldwide.
VG 30 bitumen is a viscosity grade bitumen classified according to its absolute viscosity at 60 degrees Celsius measured in centistokes. The viscosity grading system, adopted by many countries including India under IS:73, provides a more engineering-relevant classification than penetration grading, as it directly relates to the bitumen's behavior under actual pavement temperature conditions.
VG 30 has a minimum viscosity of 240 cSt and maximum of 360 cSt at 60 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for regions with moderate to high ambient temperatures where pavement surfaces experience significant heat buildup. Its higher viscosity compared to VG 10 and VG 20 provides superior resistance to rutting and deformation under heavy traffic loads.
VG 30 bitumen is the preferred choice for national highways, arterial roads, and projects in tropical and subtropical climates where high-temperature performance is critical. It delivers consistent binder properties that translate into durable, long-lasting asphalt pavements.
National highways and expressways with heavy commercial traffic.
Industrial access roads and truck corridors.
Roads in regions with high ambient temperatures.
City arterials and commercial district pavements.

VG 30 bitumen pricing reflects crude oil markets, infrastructure investment cycles, and regional demand patterns.
VG 30 pricing directly correlates with crude oil markets as bitumen is derived from crude oil refining. Market movements in crude prices affect final product pricing.
Government infrastructure spending on highways and road networks drives VG 30 demand, influencing regional pricing dynamics.
Ocean freight rates and port handling fees contribute to total landed cost. Heated container transport adds premium compared to bulk shipments.
Road construction activity peaks during dry seasons. Advance procurement during off-peak periods can secure better pricing and availability.
