Bitumen types V1500, V3000, V6000 and V12000 are soft binders used for the construction of road surfaces on low-traffic roads, mainly in countries with very harsh winters (e.g. Scandinavian countries). For example, it is used in Norway in areas where the average annual temperature is below 6 degrees Celsius. Soft bitumen is often used in technologies using recycled material: both for substructures (of gravel and bitumen mixes) and for the production of mineral and bitumen mixes using foamed bitumen.
Soft bitumen V3000, V6000 and V12000 can also be used for the construction and paving of dirt roads with very low traffic loads with very soft mineral and bitumen concrete mixtures according to EN 13108-3, such applications are common in Lithuania and Latvia
