PG 70-34: Ultra-High-Performance Asphalt Binder for Extreme Cold Climates and Heavy Traffic Durability
Engineered for unmatched durability and resilience under severe freeze-thaw cycles and heavy traffic loads, fully compliant with AASHTO M320 standards.
What is PG 70-34 Bitumen?
PG 70-34 is a high-performance asphalt binder designed for extreme cold climates and heavy traffic. It resists rutting at temperatures up to 70°C and remains flexible down to -34°C, preventing cracking and deformation in severe freeze-thaw conditions. Ideal for cold region highways, industrial roads, and critical transport networks, it delivers consistent durability for long-lasting pavement performance.
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Cold Climate Highway Infrastructure
- Arctic Industrial and Logistics Corridors
- Strategic Winter Transportation Networks
Key Specifications
- Flash Point (°C): ≥ 230 (AASHTO T48)
- Rotational Viscometer at 135 (Pa.S): ≤ 3 (AASHTO T316)
- Dynamic Shear Rheometer at 70 °C(kPa): ≥ 1 (AASHTO T315)
- Change of Mass (% wt): ≤ 1 (AASHTO T240)
Compliance
- AASTHO 320M | ASTM D6373 | NFPA 30 | ASME BPVC
Why PG 70-34 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.High Rutting Resistance
- Performs reliably in temperatures up to 70°C.
2. Low-Temperature Flexibility
- Remains flexible down to -34°C to prevent cracking.
3.Easy Application
- Smooth paving and compaction on-site.
4.Durable
- Handles heavy traffic and harsh weather cycles.
5.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
