Viscosity Grade AC-20 Bitumen

AC-20 Bitumen is an asphalt cement classified under the AC viscosity grading system according to viscosity and other applicable quality requirements. The AC grading system is distinct from both Penetration Grading and the Superpave Performance Grade (PG) system. ASTM D3381 provides specifications for viscosity-graded asphalt cement, with viscosity at 60°C serving as an important classification parameter. Buyers should confirm the applicable standard, specific compliance requirements, and test data against their project specification before ordering.

AC-20 is a higher-viscosity AC grade generally considered for demanding paving applications where a relatively higher-viscosity binder may be required. It may be considered for pavement applications where binder viscosity and resistance to deformation under traffic loading are important design considerations. However, actual pavement performance also depends on asphalt mixture design, aggregate structure, traffic loading, climate, and construction quality.

AC-20 Bitumen specifications and technical properties, including viscosity, penetration, flash point, ductility, and solubility, depend on the applicable standard, so buyers should confirm exact values through the relevant test documentation. This grade may be considered for highway construction, heavy-duty Road Construction, and asphalt pavement production, with airport pavements included where technically appropriate. Selecting AC-20 or another asphalt cement grade requires evaluating climate, traffic loading, pavement design, and asphalt mixture requirements specific to each project rather than assuming universal suitability.
