PG 70-10

Performance Grade 70-10 

Performance Grade 70-10 (PG 70-10) is an advanced type of bitumen categorized based on its performance characteristics under various temperature conditions. This grade is designed according to global standards for use in areas with specific climatic conditions.

Technical Features of PG 70-10 Bitumen

• High-Temperature Performance:
  PG 70-10 bitumen can withstand temperatures up to 70°C without losing quality, making it an ideal choice for tropical regions and areas with intense sunlight.
• Low-Temperature Performance:
  Withstanding temperatures as low as -10°C, this bitumen prevents cracking and surface damage in cold weather.
• Elasticity and Adhesion Properties:
  This bitumen offers high adhesion and resistance to deformation, enhancing asphalt durability.

Applications of Performance Grade 70-10 Bitumen

1. Road Construction and Highways:
   PG 70-10 is suitable for highway and road projects in warm and temperate regions due to its ability to handle harsh temperature conditions.
2. Airports and High-Traffic Routes:
   Its high resistance to pressure and temperature makes it ideal for airport pavements and heavily trafficked roads.
3. Industrial and Commercial Areas:
   Using this bitumen in parking lots and industrial areas increases asphalt longevity against wear and tear.

Benefits of PG 70-10 Bitumen

• High Durability:
  Resistance to temperature fluctuations and extreme weather conditions.
• Superior Quality:
  Compliance with international standards such as ASTM and AASHTO.
• Reduced Maintenance Costs:
  The extended lifespan of asphalt made with this bitumen minimizes repair and maintenance expenses.
