Viscosity Grade AC-40 Bitumen

Viscosity Grade AC-40 Bitumen Exporter and Supplier

AC-40 Bitumen is a high-viscosity asphalt cement designed for heavy-duty highways, industrial pavements, airport runways, and infrastructure projects that require excellent strength and rutting resistance. Brazil Bitumen, powered by Tiger Bitumen, supplies premium-quality AC-40 Bitumen manufactured to meet ASTM viscosity grading requirements. Our AC-40 Bitumen Specifications include viscosity, penetration, flash point, solubility, ductility, and other essential physical properties to ensure reliable performance in demanding paving applications. ASTM D3381 classifies AC-40 according to viscosity at 60°C and specifies the required physical properties for quality asphalt binders.

AC-40 Bitumen is developed for high-stress pavement applications where maximum viscosity, strength, and resistance to rutting are essential. Tiger Bitumen offers competitive pricing, flexible packaging, dependable export logistics, and professional technical support for customers throughout Brazil.
