Technology Profile
| Title: | New Process for Preparation of Harder Grade Bitumen (VG40 and VG50) For Formation of Asphalt Surfacing for Roads and Airfields |
| Value Proposition: | The harder grade bitumen is used for roads carrying heavy traffic loadings. This results in saving of materials compared to softer grade bitumen. |
| Summary Application: | High Volume Roads |
| Advantages: | With the increased traffic loading on the pavements, hard grade bitumen is needed. As the pace of the road development and construction increases, so the demand for hard grade bitumen, which can't be met by the refineries alone. This method provides a process for preparation of hard grade using soft grade bitumen and additives. |
| Commercialization Status: | Licensed awaiting commercialisation |
