Bitumen 30/40
Bitumen 30/40 Supplier and Exporter
Bitumen 30/40 is a paving grade bitumen classified within the harder range of the penetration grading system. The “30/40” figures come from a standard penetration test that measures how firm or soft the bitumen is at a set temperature, and grades in this range tend to offer greater rigidity and resistance to deformation compared with softer, more common grades. These characteristics make Bitumen 30/40 relevant for road construction, highway construction and maintenance, and asphalt pavement production, particularly on projects where load-bearing stability is a priority. Because performance requirements differ from one project to another, Bitumen 30/40 specifications and technical properties should be reviewed against the applicable standard and supplier test documentation before an order is finalized. Buyers working on demanding or heavy traffic infrastructure projects often look closely at penetration grade bitumen options for this reason. Turkey Bitumen supplies Bitumen 30/40 to international importers, distributors, contractors, and procurement teams, coordinating export orders around each buyer’s project specifications, documentation needs, and shipment requirements. Interested buyers can reach out directly for further technical information and current quotations.

Bitumen 30/40 is a penetration grade bitumen used in paving applications that call for a firmer binder. It falls at the harder end of the penetration scale and is generally considered for projects with higher structural or thermal demands.
The figures refer to the range obtained from a standard penetration test, which measures bitumen hardness under controlled conditions. A 30/40 result indicates a harder material than common grades like 60/70, meaning it deforms less under load.
It is typically used in road construction, highway construction and maintenance, and asphalt pavement production, especially for base and binder layers on roads that experience heavy or continuous traffic loading.
Buyers generally look at penetration value, softening point, ductility, and flash point, among other parameters. These depend on the applicable standard and should be confirmed through the supplier's test certificate before purchase.
Bitumen 30/40 may be considered for heavy-traffic and infrastructure applications where a firmer binder helps resist deformation, subject to project specifications, climatic conditions, and the applicable design requirements.
Compared with softer grades such as 60/70 or 80/100, Bitumen 30/40 is harder and more resistant to flow under stress, which can make it more suitable for warmer climates or higher-load conditions, depending on project needs.
