PG 76-28: Ultimate Asphalt Binder for Harsh Winters & Extreme Summer Heat
Exceptional Thermal Flexibility, Rutting Resistance & AASHTO M320 Compliance for Freeze-Thaw Zones
What is PG 76-28 Bitumen?
PG 76-28 is a premium, polymer-modified asphalt binder engineered to perform under extreme temperature variations from blistering summer highs of 76°C to frigid winter lows of -28°C. Designed in compliance with Superpave performance grading, it delivers unmatched rutting resistance, fatigue strength, and thermal flexibility, making it the ideal binder for high-stress pavement systems.
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Cold-Climate Highways
- Desert Highways
- Airports & Runways
- Mountain Expressways
- Intercity Freight Corridors
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 76-28 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.Ultra-Low Temperature Flexibility
- Prevents cracking down to -28°C during harsh winter cycles.
- Maintains integrity through freeze-thaw stresses.
2. Superior Rutting Resistance
- Handles sustained high-load traffic and summer heat extremes.
- Ideal for freight and airport applications.
3.Fast Setting Time
- Reduces project timelines with quicker curing.
4.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
