Shell Bitumen VG 40

With the ever-increasing traffic and increase in axle loads, highways require high resistance to surface tensile stresses. Therefore, HMVG-40, High Quality Viscosity Grade Paving Bitumen is manufactured using patented technology, keeping in mind the needs of modern highways.  The use of Harder Grade Binder HMVG-40 in bituminous mixes offers following benefits over conventional Bitumen. - Production of rut as well as fatigue resistant mix - Production of mixes with high resilient modulus - Reduction in bottom-up cracking - High resistance to surface tensile stresses under heavy axle loads on high-volume roads - Reduction in the overall pavement thickness - Lowering susceptibility to daily and seasonal temperature variations - Delay in maintenance/resurfacing, resulting in long-term cost saving
