PG 82-34: Engineered for Unmatched Performance in Extreme Cold and Heat
Built for Polar Highways & Freeze-Thaw Corridors Combines 82°C Rutting Resistance with -34°C Crack Flexibility.
What is PG 82-34 Bitumen?
PG 82-34 is the most advanced binder in the PG 82 series formulated to endure the harshest climate conditions, from scorching pavement surfaces to subarctic cold. PG 82-34 provides elite rutting resistance at 82°C and exceptional flexibility down to -34°C. Its polymer-rich formulation is engineered for long-lasting performance in remote, cold-region infrastructure where deep freeze-thaw cycles, high-axle loads, and minimal maintenance windows are the norm.
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Subarctic and Alpine Highways
- Cold-Climate Industrial Corridors
- Polar and High-Altitude Strategic Infrastructure
- High-Altitude Road Networks
- Airports & Cold-Climate Terminals
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 82-34 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.Arctic-Grade Temperature Resistance
- Survives thermal extremes from 82°C to -34°C
- Ideal for regions with frequent freeze-thaw cycles
2.Unmatched Flexibility in Subzero Temps
- Prevents cracking and brittleness at -34°C
- Delivers elastic recovery in deep cold
3.Long-Term Structural Integrity
- Withstands fatigue and aging over time
4.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
