PG 76-16 for heavy-traffic highways. Exported from Dubai.
A performance-graded binder for pavements up to 76°C, with cracking resistance down to −16°C. Made for very hot climates and heavy loads.
Graded for 76°C heat and −16°C cold
PG 76-16 is a performance-graded (PG) asphalt binder. The first number is the high pavement temperature in °C where it resists rutting, and the second is the lowest temperature in °C where it resists thermal cracking.
At 76°C it suits very hot climates and heavy loads, and at −16°C it suits regions with mild to cool winters. It can usually be met with straight-run or lightly modified bitumen.
Black Rock Bitumen supplies PG 76-16 from Dubai to contractors, EPC companies and asphalt producers across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
