PG 82-16: High-Temperature Asphalt Binder with Cold Flex Resilience
Engineered for Heat-Intense Freight Corridors & Seasonal Climates Superpave-Approved and AASHTO M320 Compliant
What is PG 82-16 Bitumen?
PG 82-16 is a premium polymer-modified asphalt binder purpose-built for infrastructure in hot climates that also endure moderately cold winters. Engineered for peak performance, it withstands pavement temperatures of up to 82°C while maintaining flexibility and crack resistance at temperatures as low as -16°C. PG 82-16 delivers lasting performance across seasonal thermal cycles. Its formulation ensures exceptional rutting resistance, thermal durability, and long-term pavement resilience under both high-heat and cold stress conditions.
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Arid & Semi-Arid Expressways
- Regional Freight Corridors
- Seasonal Industrial Roads
- Airport Runways
- Urban Winter Arterials
- Industrial zones
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 82-16 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.Balanced Thermal Performance
- Withstands scorching heat and moderate cold
- Prevents both rutting and low-temperature cracking
2.Reliable Load-Bearing Capacity
- Supports high-volume freight and industrial use
- Delivers stable structure under axle-heavy operations
3.Seasonal Flexibility
- Maintains integrity through freeze-thaw cycles
- Minimizes surface failures across seasons
4.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
