The most production type of bitumen in the world is petroleum bitumen, which is obtained from crude oil distillation, and they are mostly classified based on penetration, viscosity and performance grade.
About penetration, 60-70, 85-100 are the most popular and used kinds, so the main market shares are mostly Pacific Asia, and Africa. India.
About viscosity, VG 40, VG 30 are the most used and common kinds in India.
