PG 82-22: Ultimate Asphalt Binder for Extreme Temperature Swings
Built for Mountain Highways & Freeze-Thaw Zones Combines 82°C Rutting Resistance with -22°C Crack Protection
What is PG 82-22 Bitumen?
PG 82-22 is a high-performance, polymer-modified asphalt binder formulated for climates that endure both scorching summers and harsh, freezing winters. Capable of withstanding pavement temperatures up to 82°C while remaining flexible and crack-resistant down to -22°C, PG 82-22 is ideal for infrastructure subjected to thermal extremes and continuous heavy loading. PG 82-22 offers unmatched thermal flexibility and long-term durability for critical roadways exposed to frequent freeze-thaw cycles and variable seasonal demands.
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Mountain Pass Highways
- Urban Expressways in Freeze Zones
- Northern and Regional Freight Corridors
- Cold-Region Infrastructure
- Airport Runways
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 82-22 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.Balanced Thermal Performance
- Withstands repeated heavy axle loads
- Suitable for mountainous freight corridors
2.All-Season Thermal Endurance
- Resists rutting under intense summer heat
- Remains flexible in extreme cold down to -22°C
3.Superior Crack Resistance
- Prevents thermal cracking in cold climates
- Ideal for freeze-thaw road environments
4.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
Applications

Application
Use Case
Benefit
Mountain Pass Highways
High-altitude routes exposed to snow, freeze-thaw, and steep grades
Superior crack resistance and flexibility ensure performance in extreme cold and stress conditions
Urban Expressways in Freeze Zones
City expressways with heavy traffic and severe winter conditions
Prevents thermal cracking and rutting from traffic congestion and repeated freeze-thaw cycles
Northern and Regional Freight Corridors
Major trucking routes under high thermal and load stress
High rutting resistance and long-term durability for consistent freight movement year-round
Cold-Region Infrastructure
Roads, bridges, and logistics facilities in persistently cold climates
Excellent thermal resilience and low-temperature flexibility protect against structural cracking
Airport Runways
High-temperature, high-load aircraft pavements
Superior rutting resistance, Handles jet heat & loads, Long service life
