Bitumen
Paving bitumen in penetration grades 60/70, 70/80, 80/100 and 200, and viscosity grades VG-30 and VG-40, for road construction and waterproofing projects.
VSK Consult supplies paving and industrial bitumen for road construction and waterproofing. Softer grades such as 80/100 and 200 suit cooler climates; harder grades such as 60/70 and VG-40 suit hot climates and heavy traffic.
Grades
We supply the penetration and viscosity grades below. Each shipment comes with a certificate of analysis from the refinery or an independent inspection agency.
Packing
Bitumen is packed in steel drums, jumbo bags or bitublocks, based on client needs.

Orders, ports and inspection
Minimum order quantities, loading ports and destinations depend on the product, grade and market conditions, so we confirm them with each quotation. Cargo can be inspected at the loading port by an independent inspection agency, appointed as agreed with the buyer.
