Supplier Bitumen AC10

 

Description Bitumen AC10

Bitumen AC10 is a type of asphalt cement graded based on its viscosity. The “AC” stands for Asphalt Cement, and the number 10 indicates its viscosity of 1000 poises at 60°C (hence AC-10). It is commonly used in road construction and paving applications.

  • Type: Asphalt Cement (Viscosity Graded)
  • Viscosity: 1000 ± 250 poises at 60°C
  • Penetration: Typically 60–70 dmm at 25°C
  • Softening Point: ~45–55°C
  • Solubility: > 99% in trichloroethylene

Application of Bitumen AC10

Main Applications:

Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Production

  • Used as a binder in asphalt concrete for road surfaces.
  • Ideal for base, binder, and surface courses in flexible pavements.

Road Construction & Rehabilitation

  • Suitable for urban and rural roads, highways, and airport runways.
  • Used in both new road construction and overlays.

Pavement Maintenance

  • Used in patching potholes and repairing cracked or aged pavements.
  • Applied in leveling courses before final overlays.

Surface Treatment and Seal Coats

  • Employed in chip seal applications and fog seals.
  • Improves waterproofing and extends pavement life.

Waterproofing and Damp Proofing

  • Used in foundations, roofs, and other waterproofing structures where moderate viscosity bitumen is required.

Premix Carpet & Bituminous Macadam Layers

  • Suitable for light- to medium-duty roads and service lanes.

Key Features:

  1. Provides excellent adhesion to aggregates
  2. Withstands moderate to high traffic loads
  3. Performs well in temperate climates
  4. Ensures durability and water resistance

Difference Between Bitumen AC10 & AC20

  • AC10 is less viscous and more suitable for medium-traffic roads in moderate climates.
  • AC20 is more viscous, offering greater stiffness and rut resistance for high-traffic roads and hotter climates.
