PG 70-22: Premium Asphalt Binder for Extreme Temperature Variations and Heavy Traffic Areas and Cold Winters
High Rutting Resistance, Superior Flexibility & AASHTO M320 Compliance for Roads in Regions with Extreme Temperature Fluctuations
What is PG 70-22 Bitumen?
PG 70-22 is a premium asphalt binder designed for regions with extreme temperature fluctuations, offering excellent rutting resistance at up to 70°C and flexibility down to -22°C. Ideal for critical pavements exposed to heavy traffic and severe climates, it resists thermal cracking and deformation for long-lasting performance. Ensures consistency and stability, making it perfect for demanding road construction projects year-round.
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Mountain & Cold-Climate Roads
- Desert Highways
- Urban Expressways
- Hot Mix Asphalt
- Freight Terminals
- Bridge Decks & Overpasses
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 70-22 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.High Rutting Resistance
- Withstands temperatures up to 70°C, making it perfect for hot climates.
2.Enhanced Flexibility
- Maintains flexibility at temperatures as low as -22-+7
- °C, ensuring performance in cold climates.
3.Durable
- Designed to resist the stress of heavy traffic and seasonal temperature changes.
4.Balanced Workability
- Offers smooth application and compaction for efficient paving.
5.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
