PG 82-10: Ultimate Asphalt Binder for Desert Heat & Heavy Load Corridors
Extreme High-Temperature Resistance, Rutting Protection & AASHTO M320 Compliance for Demanding Hot-Climate Roads
What is PG 82-10 Bitumen?
PG 82-10 is a high-performance, polymer-modified asphalt binder specifically engineered for extreme heat environments with moderate winter exposure. Withstanding pavement surface temperatures of up to 82°C and maintaining flexibility down to -10°C, PG 82-10 is ideal for high-speed expressways, desert highways, and industrial logistics corridors. it offers industry-leading rutting resistance and fatigue durability. Ensuring long-lasting pavement structure in climates with relentless sun, heavy traffic, and demanding operational needs
It delivers unmatched durability for
- Desert and Tropical Highways
- Expressways and Toll Roads
- Desert Highways
- Industrial zones
- Mountainous Highways
- 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 82-10 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.Extreme Heat Resistance
- Maintains structural strength in desert surface temps up to 82°C
- Prevents softening and rutting under intense solar load
2. High Load-Bearing Stability
- Designed for highways with continuous freight and heavy axle
- pressure Maintains form under repetitive mechanical stress
3.Balanced Thermal Performance
- Handles wide thermal ranges with minimal cracking or deformation
4.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 230°C ensures safe storage and transport.
