50/90-55 Bitumen Exceptional Performance for High-Temperature Roads and Heavy Traffic Areas & Infrastructure
Designed for Extreme Heat, Offering Superior Durability and Stability in High-Traffic Conditions IS 15462 Compliance for Demanding Projects
What is PMB 50/90-55 Bitumen?
PMB 50/90-55 is a premium polymer-modified bitumen design for for extreme performance in high-load traffic zones and structural infrastructure like bridges and airport runways. With a penetration range of 50-90 dmm, its high softening point ensures it remains stable in extreme temperatures, offering outstanding thermal and oxidative resistance
It delivers unmatched durability for
- High-traffic highways
- Hot Mix Asphalt
- Airport runways
- Port pavements
- Industrial zones
- Urban Infrastructure
Key Specifications
- Penetration Value (dmm): 50–90 (ASTM D5)
- Softening Point (°C): 55 (ASTM D36)
- Flash Point (°C): ≥ 220 (ASTM D92)
- Elastic recovery at 15°C, % Min: ≥ 30 (ASTM D6084)
Compliance
- IS 15462, BS EN 14023, ASME BPVC
Why PMB 50/90-55 Bitumen
Stands Out
1.Exceptional Durability
- High softening point of 55°C ensures resilience under extreme heat and heavy traffic.
2.Thermal Stability
- Softening point of 55°C prevents rutting in hot climates.
- Flexibility across a wide range of temperatures, preventing cracks.
3.Temperature Stability
- Resists softening and rutting in hot climates and heavy traffic.
4.NFPA Fire Safety Compliance
- Flash point ≥ 220°C ensures safe storage and transport.
