What Is PG 82-22 Performance Grade Bitumen?

PG 82-22 is a Superpave performance-graded bitumen spanning a demanding 104°C temperature range — resisting rutting up to 82°C in peak summer heat while staying flexible and crack-resistant down to -22°C in winter. That range makes it one of the more adaptable grades at the premium end of the PG scale.

It’s commonly specified for interstates, airport runways, and heavy-haul freight corridors carrying constant high axle loads in regions where summer pavement temperatures run extreme and winters aren’t mild either. Heavy polymer modification improves fatigue resistance and elastic recovery over the pavement’s lifespan.

Graded to AASHTO M320 / ASTM D6373 Superpave standards, PG 82-22 suits projects needing top-tier rutting protection without sacrificing cold-weather durability.
