Viscosity Grade (VG)

Bitumen is graded based on absolute viscosity at 60 ºC or kinematic viscosity at 135 ºC. The SI physical unit of dynamic viscosity is Poise and  kinematic viscosity is expressed in CentiStokes. Pure bitumen has been graded based on AASHTO-M226 and ASTM-D3381 standards.

2. In Bulk

NDT is a leading exporter of Bulk Bitumen from Middle Eastern Refineries. With access to Bulk bitumen carriers floating in the Gulf and and Indian Subcontinent region, we pride ourselves in our capability to load and do all the necessary formalities for a smooth sailing of cargo for our respected customers. The carriers are normally holding a capacity of 2500-5000 mts.

3. Poly Bags:

Bitumen Poly Bags made from (unique poly-alkene compound) have a great advantage by reducing wastage of bitumen. These bags are designed to melt along with the bitumen to form a homogeneous mass at a temperature between 160 and 170 Centigrade, without leaving any unmelted or partially materials, not producing any pollution while being easy to ship and store and at more competitive prices.

Overall features & benefits:
  • Capacity: 300 Kg OR 1000 KG
  • Palletized and steel protection
  • 1x 20′ FCL Equivalent to 20 jumbo bags of of 1 Metric Tonne weight
  • Withstanding temperature at 130º C± 10º C in the bitumen-filling process.
  • Filling temperature ≤140 º C for the road bitumen
  • Working house temperature ≥ 8 º C
  • Melted completely at 160º C–170º C, while the machine stirred about 20_30 minutes
  • Summer pile up at most for 5_6 layers. Winter pile up for 6_7 layers.
  • The elongation at break is ≥250%
