Penetration Bitumen 30/40
Introduction
In the realm of construction and infrastructure development, the role of high-quality materials cannot be overstated. One such vital material is penetration bitumen, specifically the Grade 30/40 variant, which stands as a cornerstone in the portfolio of Global Synergy Company.
Penetration bitumen is a crucial component of road construction, providing the binding force that holds asphalt together. Among the various penetration bitumen grades available, Grade 30/40 has garnered significant attention due to its balanced characteristics. The numbers '30' and '40' represent the penetration depth in Deci millimeters (0.1 mm) that a standard needle vertically loaded onto the bitumen will penetrate during a fixed time interval and temperature.
