Bitumen AC 30 – A Viscosity Grade Bitumen
Bitumen AC 30 falls under the category of viscosity grade bitumen, with viscosity measured at 60 degrees Celsius (140 degrees Fahrenheit). While commonly used in road construction, its primary application is in temperate regions.
AC 30 is a specially formulated bituminous asphalt, prized for its high viscosity, making it particularly well-suited for use in hot climates.
