PG 82-28: Ultimate Asphalt Binder for Extreme Temperature Swings
Built for Freeze-Prone Highways & Heavy Haul Routes Combines 82°C Rutting Resistance with -28°C Crack Protection.
What is PG 82-28 Bitumen?
PG 82-28 is a top-tier, polymer-modified asphalt binder engineered to handle the harshest thermal conditions from blazing pavement temperatures of up to 82°C to brutal sub-zero cold as low as -28°C. It’s the binder of choice for regions where freeze-thaw cycles, heavy traffic, and thermal extremes converge. It is purpose-built for regions where thermal shock and traffic loading combine to challenge pavement performance
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Freeze-Prone Highways
- Desert Highways
- Airports and Cold-Climate Terminals
- Northern & Alpine Freight Corridors
- Northern & Alpine 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 | ASTM D6373 | NFPA 30 | ASME BPVC
Why PG 82-28 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.Extreme Climate Readiness
- Withstands extreme summer heat and deep winter cold
- Delivers reliable performance across wide temperature swings
2.Exceptional Cold Flexibility
- Prevents thermal cracking at -28°C
- Maintains elasticity through harsh freeze-thaw events
3.Heavy Load Endurance
- Engineered for airport, freight, and industrial axle loads
- Minimize deformation under high pressure and repetitive traffic
4.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
