PG 76-34: Asphalt Binder for Extreme Cold & Heavy-Duty Performance
Unmatched Low-Temperature Flexibility, Summer Rutting Resistance & AASHTO M320 Compliance for Polar and Alpine Infrastructure
What is PG 76-34 Bitumen?
PG 76-34 is the most advanced binder in the PG 76 series engineered for infrastructure in the most severe cold climates. Designed with cutting-edge polymer modification, it performs in extreme conditions from scorching 76°C summer highs to arctic-level -34°C lows. With superior fatigue resistance and durability, it’s the go-to binder for polar roads, alpine freight corridors, and strategic subarctic highways.
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Arctic and Subarctic Highways
- Heavy-Duty Cold-Climate Freight Routes
- Alpine and High-Elevation Infrastructure
- Desert Highways
- Airport Taxiways
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 76-28 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.Maximum Low-Temperature Performance
- Resists thermal cracking in temperatures as low as -34°C
- Maintains structure in subarctic freeze-thaw conditions
2. Superior Rutting & Load Resistance
- Performs under heavy truck and freight loads
- Maintains shape in high summer surface temps
3.Extreme Climate Versatility
- Built for year-round stability in the harshest environments
4.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
