Our Products
We are leaders in the market for providing best range of Penetration Grade Bitumen, Viscosity Grade Bitumen, Bitumen Emulsion, Paving Grade Bitumen and Bitumen 60/70
Penetration bitumen is semi hard black material known as petroleum grade bitumen which is produced by blowing hot air into the vacuum bottom.
Bitumen penetration grade is suitable for road surfacing, production of asphalt pavements, and hot mix asphalt. Low penetration grade bitumen is used in warm areas while high penetration grade is used in cold areas.
We have the capability to supply customers a wide range of Bitumen penetration grades such as 60/70, 80/100, 85/100, 40/50, 30/40.

Viscosity Grade Bitumen (Asphalt) is a Bitumen grade mostly used as a Paving Grade and it’s suitable for road construction and for the asphalt pavements producing with premier attributes. VG Bitumen is usually used in the production of hot mix asphalt.
Viscosity Grade Bitumen is petroleum grade bitumen, which produced from fractional vacuum bottom which comes from the distillation of crude oil, which feasible appliance and behavior changes according to its temperature.
Viscosity Grade bitumen is specified by ASTM Standard D3381-09 and AASHTO M226-80 (2008). VG Bitumen specifications cover by Viscosity at 60 C (140 °F).
We have two methods of grading:
Viscosity grade bitumen has a thermoplastic feature which causes the material to soften at high temperatures and to harden at lower temperatures. This temperature viscosity relevance is significant when specifying the performance parameters such as the adhesion, rheology, durability and application temperatures of bitumen. In the Viscosity Grade Bitumen specifications, the most important emphasizes is based on the Bitumen ductility.
Viscosity Grade Bitumen Uses
VG-10 BitumenVG-10 is mostly used in spraying applications such as surface dressing and Paving in a very cold cWe have two methods of grading:limate instead of 80/100 penetration bitumen grade. It is also used to produce Bitumen Emulsion and Modified Bitumen products.
VG-20 BitumenVG-20 is used for paving in cold climate & high altitude regions.
VG-30 BitumenVG-30 is especially used to construct extra heavy duty Bitumen pavements that need to tolerate significant traffic loads. It can be used instead of a 60/70 penetration bitumen grade.
VG-40 BitumenVG-40 is used in highly stressed areas such as intersections, near toll booths, and truck parking lots instead of 30/40 penetration grade. Because of higher viscosity, stiffer Bitumen mixes can be produced to amend resistance to shoving and other problems related to a higher temperatures and heavy traffic loads.
We have the capability to supply customers a wide range of Bitumen viscosity grades such as VG 10, VG 20, VG 30, VG 40.

Bitumen Emulsion is one of the main ingredients used in road construction and maintenance. It is a two-phase system consisting of bitumen, water and one or more additives (Emulsifiers). Bitumen is dispersed throughout the water phase in the form of discrete globules typically in the range of of 0.1 to 10 micron in size, which are held in suspension in water and prevented from flocculating and settling by emulsifier charges. The emulsifier plays an important role to keep the bitumen droplets in a stable suspension, control breaking time and aids adhesion also.
Bitumen Emulsion typically contains 50-75% bitumen, o.1-2% emulsifying agent and rest water. These components are introduced into a colloid mill that operates at a very high speed motor (1000-6000rpm) which shears bitumen emulsion into tiny globules. Variable Rotor Stator Gap in Colloid mill controls bitumen material. The size of globules that in turn controls the viscosity of bitumen emulsion. We are quality Bitumen Emulsion manufacturers and exporter in all over India.
Bitumen Emulsion ClassificationBitumen Emulsion are classified on the basis of Electrical charge. Emulsifier envelops itself on the bitumen droplet and provides electrical charge on surface of bitumen globules preventing them to coalesce.
AnionicIt is the first category of emulsion that was engineered for road construction. Due to their negative globules, they are less efficient than other two i.e. Cationic or Non-ionic. Suitable for Calcareous aggregate like lime stone, dolomite etc.
Non-ionicRarely used in road construction.
CationicDue to their positive charge, the emulsion coats the aggregate efficiently and flaunts effective adhesion attributes. Cationic Emulsion also wakes as an anti-stripping agents so highly favorable in construction industry and hence ismost widely used. Such emulsions are most suitable for siliceous aggregate like quartzite, sand stone, granite, etc.
How Quickly the Emulsion Reverts to Bitumen?On the basis of how quickly the emulsion reverts to bitumen, cationic bitumen emulsions are divided into Rapid setting, Medium setting and Slow setting emulsion. Further classified as per IS: 8887-2004 into RS-1, RS-2, MS, SS-1 and SS-2.
Rapid Setting-1(RS-1)Used for Tack Coat Applications
Rapid Setting-2(RS-2)Used for Surface dressing
Medium Setting (MS)Used for Open graded premix for coarse
Slow Setting (SS-1)Used for Prime coat application or for sealing cracks and fog seal
Slow Setting (SS-2)Used for slurry seal, seal coat (premix with large fine aggregate content
