Penetration Grades

Penetration grade bitumens are manufactured to meet local specifications such as EN12591 in Europe, PG-Grading in Norway, US and Latin America and Viscosity gradings in the East/Oceania.

 

Penetration Grade Bitumen applied to a road with steamrollers

Designation is by penetration range eg 40/60 pen bitumen has a penetration that ranges from 40 to 60 decimillimetres (dmm).

 

The majority of penetration grade bitumens produced are used in road construction. The overall trend is towards adopting harder bitumens that produce asphalts which have superior properties to those manufactured using the softer grades.
