The Polymer Modified Bitumen PMB PG76-10 E is a high-performance binder used to build flexible pavements under increased traffic loading at high ambient temperatures. The PG76-10 indicates that the asphalt can handle a pavement temperature of 76°C and a temperature of -10°C. Elastomeric polymers help increase the elasticity, cohesion, and resistance to rutting, thermal cracking, and fatigue. PMB PG76-10 E is well suited for use in roadways, bridges, urban junctions, and airports where durability is important. According to this “E” indicates the elastomeric modification, which facilitates elastic recuperation and stress hardening under repeated load cycling.
Benefits
1. Withstand extremely high temperatures (up to 76°C) without rutting or deformation.
2. Offers excellent resistance to thermal cracking in colder climates.
3. Enhanced elasticity ensures better fatigue resistance under repeated traffic loads.
4. Ideal for high-stress areas like intersections, highways, and heavy-duty pavements.
5. Provides longer pavement life with reduced maintenance frequency.
