As a premier supplier of polymer-modified bitumen in the Middle East, Bitukim provides high-performance PG 58-16 asphalt binder for demanding road construction projects across the UAE, GCC, and other regions with moderate to cold climates. This grade is engineered to resist pavement temperatures ranging from -16°C to 58°C, making it an essential material for durability and longevity. (Contact Us)
Polymer modification enhances the inherent properties of the base bitumen, offering superior flexibility and resistance to thermal cracking—a critical requirement for infrastructure in cooler regions and areas with significant daily temperature fluctuations.
Key Features of Our Polymer Modified PG 58-16
Our polymer-modified PG 58-16 is a carefully engineered balance of hardness and flexibility. It is designed to provide:
-
Enhanced Rutting Resistance: The polymer network improves stiffness at high temperatures.
-
Superior Thermal Cracking Resistance: Offers exceptional flexibility in cold conditions, preventing crack formation.
-
Increased Durability & Pavement Life: Withstands fatigue from repetitive traffic loading better than unmodified binders.
-
Excellent Cohesion and Adhesion: Ensures a strong bond with aggregates, resulting in a durable, cohesive asphalt mix.
Primary Applications
This versatile performance-grade binder is specified for a wide range of applications:
-
Urban and Rural Roads: Ideal for residential streets, secondary roads, and highways in cooler climatic zones.
-
Low to Medium Traffic Pavements: Perfect for areas not subjected to continuous heavy loading.
-
Cold-Weather Regions: Specifically formulated for longer winter seasons and frequent freeze-thaw cycles, common in certain GCC regions and export markets.
-
Airport Service Roads & Parking Lots: Provides reliable performance for critical but less-trafficked areas.
-
Paving Projects requiring Cold Mix Asphalt: Its low-temperature properties are advantageous for specific mix designs.
Performance Benefits for Your Project
Choosing Bitukim’s polymer-modified PG 58-16 offers significant advantages:
-
Extended Service Life: Reduces long-term maintenance costs and the need for repairs.
-
Cost-Effectiveness: Provides an optimal solution for climates where extremely high-temperature rutting is not the primary concern, offering better value than higher-grade binders.
-
Improved Flexibility: The polymer modification significantly reduces the risk of thermal contraction cracking.
-
Compatibility: Easily incorporated into standard asphalt mix designs and paving practices.
Storage and Handling
For optimal performance, our PG 58-16 should be stored in insulated tanks or drums. Maintain temperatures between 150°C and 165°C during storage and mixing. Avoid prolonged overheating to preserve its rheological properties and ensure maximum performance on your job site.
