PG 76-16: High-Performance Asphalt Binder for Hot Summers & Moderate Winters
Extreme Temperature Stability, Superior Rutting Resistance & AASHTO M320 Compliance for Heavy-Duty Pavement Applications
What is PG 76-16 Bitumen?
PG 76-16 is a premium, polymer-modified asphalt binder designed for regions with extreme summer heat and moderately cold winters. It offers exceptional resistance to rutting, thermal cracking, and fatigue making it ideal for high-traffic expressways, industrial access roads, and urban arterials. With excellent elasticity and thermal stability, PG 76-16 guarantees long-term durability and reduced maintenance in challenging climate zones
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Expressways
- Industrial Access Roads
- Urban Intersections
- Airport Taxiways & Aprons
- Container Terminals
- Mountainous Highways
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 | NFPA 30 | ASME BPVC
Why PG 76-16 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.High-Temperature Rutting Resistance
- Maintains surface shape under prolonged heat and traffic load.
2. Low-Temperature Cracking Resistance
- Flexible to -16°C minimizing thermal stress cracking.
3.Superior Fatigue Resistance
- Maintains elasticity under repeated axle loads.
4.Consistency & Quality Control
- Produced under strict manufacturing standards for reliable performance.
5.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
