What Is PG 82-34 Performance Grade Bitumen?
PG 82-34 is a Superpave performance-graded bitumen built for a 116°C temperature span — the widest and most demanding grade in the PG series — resisting rutting up to 82°C in extreme summer heat while staying flexible and crack-resistant down to -34°C in severe winter cold. Achieving this range requires the highest level of polymer modification in the lineup.
It’s specified for critical, high-traffic infrastructure in continental and sub-arctic zones where pavement surfaces swing between scorching summers and brutally cold winters within the same year — conditions that would cause standard binders to either rut or crack. The elastomeric structure delivers maximum elastic recovery and low-temperature ductility.
Certified to AASHTO M320 / ASTM D6373 Superpave standards, PG 82-34 is the top-tier choice for engineers who cannot compromise on performance at either temperature extreme.
