Performance Grades

PG76 – PG-76-34

Petra Oil’s PG 76-34 is the most robust binder in the PG 76 series—purpose-built for extreme cold environments where pavements face both ultra-low temperatures and heavy traffic loads. With a high-end temperature rating of 76°C and the ability to perform at a frigid -34°C, PG 76-34 meets the highest demands of thermal flexibility, durability, and structural integrity.

 

This binder is ideal for infrastructure projects in polar, subarctic, or alpine climates where pavements are subject to constant freeze-thaw cycles, prolonged winter exposure, and substantial mechanical stress. Its advanced polymer formulation delivers excellent rutting resistance during summer heat and maximum crack resistance during the coldest winters.

 

Manufactured to exceed AASHTO M320 specifications, PG 76-34 is designed for critical applications that demand resilience, reliability, and minimal maintenance in extreme climate zones.

 

Key Specifications of PG 76-34:

 

• Performance Grade: PG 76-34
• High-Temperature Grade: 76°C
• Low-Temperature Grade: -34°C
• Standard Compliance: AASHTO M320
• Type: Superpave Performance Grade Asphalt Binder

 

Main Applications of PG 76-34:

 

•Arctic and Subarctic Highways: Built for long-term reliability in extreme freeze zones.
• Heavy-Duty Logistics Routes: Supports freight and industrial movement through cold-weather corridors.
• High-Elevation Infrastructure: Ideal for alpine roads subject to harsh temperature swings.

 

Key Benefits of PG 76-34:

 

•Maximum Resistance to Thermal Cracking: Performs in the coldest operational environments.
• Superior Structural Integrity: Prevents rutting and shoving even under high summer loads.
• Extended Pavement Lifespan: Ideal for remote or strategic routes with limited maintenance access.
• Industry-Leading Reliability: Manufactured to exact standards for critical infrastructure performance.
