PG 70-16

Performance Grade 70-16

Performance Grade Bitumen 70-16 (PG 70-16) is a high-quality bitumen designed to perform exceptionally well under a wide range of temperature conditions. This type of bitumen is part of the Performance Grade (PG) classification, which focuses on ensuring durability and reliability in specific climatic conditions and traffic loads.

Key Features of PG 70-16 

1. Temperature Performance:
   • Operates effectively at high temperatures up to 70°C, making it resistant to softening and deformation in hot climates.
   • Maintains flexibility and strength at low temperatures down to -16°C, reducing the risk of cracking during colder seasons.
2. Enhanced Rutting and Fatigue Resistance:
   PG 70-16 is engineered to withstand heavy traffic loads and minimize rutting and fatigue cracking over time.
3. Superior Adhesion:
   Provides excellent bonding with aggregates, ensuring long-lasting asphalt layers and improved pavement performance.

Applications of PG 70-16 

• Highways and Expressways:
  Ideal for heavily trafficked routes where durability and resistance to deformation are crucial.
• Urban Roads and Intersections:
  Offers superior performance in areas with frequent braking and turning, which can place additional stress on asphalt.
• Airports and Industrial Areas:
  Designed for runways, parking lots, and industrial zones where both high temperature and heavy loads are common.

Advantages of Using PG 70-16 

• Reliable Performance in Extreme Conditions:
  Suitable for regions with significant temperature fluctuations, ensuring minimal maintenance and longer pavement life.
• Compliance with International Standards:
  Fully meets ASTM requirements, guaranteeing a high-quality product for demanding projects.
• Cost-Effective Solution:
  Reduces repair and maintenance costs by offering superior durability and resistance to wear.
