Polymer Modified Bitumen PMB 120 Description
PMB 120 or Polymer Modified Bitumen 120 a specially manufactured bitumen with polymers to deliver superior performance. this grade used in demand exceptional elasticity, durability, and resistance to deformation under the heaviest traffic conditions. we manufacture high-quality PMB 120 to withstand extreme temperature variations, long traffic loads, and harsh environmental conditions.
Polymer Modified Bitumen 120 is a specialized polymer-modified bituminous binder engineered for pavement applications in cold climates and environments that demand exceptional flexibility. Developed in accordance with IS 15462:2017, this grade combines conventional bitumen with advanced performance polymers to deliver superior resistance to low-temperature cracking, fatigue distress, and thermal-induced stresses.
With its high penetration value and outstanding ductility, PMB 120 ensures an elastic and durable pavement surface, particularly in regions where traditional bitumen fails to maintain adequate performance. Its tailored formulation makes it an ideal choice for infrastructure requiring long-term resilience against severe temperature fluctuations and mechanical loading.
Application of PMB 120
Poymer Modified Bitumen 120 is recommended for premium and specialized asphalt projects:
- Bridge Decks & Expansion Joints
- Intersections and roundabouts
- Crack-Sealing & Joint-Sealing Applications
- SMA Mixtures (Stone Mastic Asphalt)
- Flexible Pavements in Cold Climates
- Bitumen for railway ballast and port paving – suitable for heavy loads.
- Airport runways – designed for heavy traffic loads
Advantages
- Very high elastic recovery
- Excellent low-temperature flexibility
- High-viscosity, high-cohesion binder
- Strong fatigue resistance
- Low temperature susceptibility
- Excellent waterproofing behavior
Key Features of Polymer Modified 120
*Polymer Modification
PMB 120 is formulated using high-performance polymers such as styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), ethylene-vinyl-acetate (EVA), or comparable modifiers. These additives significantly enhance the bitumen’s structural properties, improving its resistance to permanent deformation, thermal cracking, and oxidative aging.
*High Elastic Recovery
Thanks to its advanced polymer composition, PMB 120 demonstrates superior elastic recovery, enabling the binder to regain its original shape after deformation caused by heavy and repetitive traffic loading. This elasticity contributes to extended pavement life and improved performance under stress.
*Enhanced Performance Resistance
PMB 40 offers remarkable resistance across a wide range of operational conditions, including:
- Rutting resistance at elevated temperatures
- Crack resistance at low temperatures
- Excellent fatigue resistance under continuous and repeated traffic loads
These enhanced characteristics make PMB 120 an optimal choice for high-stress asphalt applications requiring long-term durability and stability.
