Performance Grades
PG70 – PG-70-28
Petra Oil’s PG 70-28 is an ultra-high-performance asphalt binder specifically engineered for regions facing extreme temperature variation—from scorching summer heat to severe winter cold. Designed in full compliance with Superpave performance grading standards, PG 70-28 delivers superior long-term pavement durability by combining high resistance to rutting at elevated pavement temperatures (up to 70°C) with excellent low-temperature flexibility down to -28°C.
PG 70-28 is ideal for high-value roadway infrastructure that must endure heavy traffic loads and the most demanding climate conditions. With outstanding resistance to both thermal cracking and surface deformation, this binder offers dependable performance in the harshest environments—making it a preferred choice for northern regions, mountainous terrains, and areas subject to deep freeze-thaw cycles.
Manufactured to exceed AASHTO M320 requirements, PG 70-28 offers consistent quality and optimal binder behavior under thermal stress, ensuring reliable pavement performance and extended service life.
Key Specifications of PG 70-28:
• Performance Grade: PG 70-28
• High-Temperature Grade: 70°C
• Low-Temperature Grade: -28°C
• Standard Compliance: AASHTO M320
• Type: Superpave Performance Grade Asphalt Binder
Main Applications of PG 70-28:
• Cold Region Expressways: Built for roads exposed to intense cold and heavy traffic.
• Mountain Passes and High-Elevation Roads: Handles severe climate swings and steep gradients.
• Strategic Freight Corridors: Ideal for routes that require durable surfaces under year-round heavy loading.
Key Benefits of PG 70-28:
• Exceptional Low-Temperature Flexibility: Reduces risk of thermal cracking in extreme winter conditions.
• Superior Rutting Resistance: Maintains surface integrity under sustained high temperatures and loading.
• Long-Lasting Pavement Performance: Reduces maintenance needs and lifecycle costs.
• Precision Manufacturing: Ensures uniform performance across projects, climates, and construction cycles.
