Viscosity Bitumen (VG Grade) – High-Quality Export Grade — Export from Iran
Available in Grades: VG10, VG20, VG30, VG40 and other grades upon request
Viscosity Bitumen, also known as VG Bitumen (Viscosity Grade), is classified based on its absolute viscosity at 60°C. This grading system ensures consistent performance under high-temperature and heavy-traffic conditions, making it ideal for modern road construction in hot climates.
We supply high-quality Viscosity Bitumen from major Iranian refineries, produced under strict quality control and in compliance with IS 73:2013 and ASTM D3381 standards. Ideal for bulk export to infrastructure markets in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
Note: VG grading is based on viscosity (in Poise) at 60°C. Higher VG = higher viscosity = better performance in hot weather and under heavy loads.

Key Notes
- Viscosity Grade: Based on performance at 60°C. Higher VG = better resistance to rutting and deformation.
- Penetration: Decreases as VG increases — harder bitumen for hot regions.
- Ductility: Sufficient for flexibility under traffic load.
- All values comply with IS 73:2013 and can be adjusted to meet EN or Gulf standards.
- Pre-shipment inspection by SGS included for every shipment.
- Flexi-Bags ensure safe and container-friendly transportation.
