Description of SBS PMB Bitumen PG 58-16
PMB Bitumen PG 58-16 is a high-quality asphalt binder formulated under the Superpave Performance Grading System. The “58-16” designation means that the binder is designed to perform reliably at average high pavement temperatures of 58 °C and low pavement temperatures of -16 °C.
Performance Grade Bitumen 58-16 is commonly used in moderate to cool climate regions, providing excellent workability, flexibility, and fatigue resistance. This binder ensures smooth pavement surfaces, minimizes cracking, and extends service life under both light and medium traffic conditions.
Standard
General standards applied to PMB Bitumen PG 58-16 include, among others:
- ASTM D36-22: Standard Specification for Bituminous Materials, for Use in Road Construction.
- AASHTO M 224-23: Standard Specification for Emulsified Asphalt.
- EN 12593: Bitumen for road construction – Specifications.
- ISO 9001: Quality management systems – Requirements for any organization.
Applications
Performance Grade Bitumen PG 58-16 is suitable for:
- Highways & expressways with heavy vehicles
- Airport runways & taxiways
- Urban roads with intense traffic load
- Industrial areas, container yards & freight terminals
- Hot climate regions in Asia, Middle East, Africa & South America
- Modified asphalt concrete, SMA (Stone Mastic Asphalt), Superpave mix designs
Highways and Major Roads: Commonly used for paving highways, expressways, and arterial roads in regions with moderate to warm climates. Provides excellent resistance to rutting under heavy traffic and high temperatures.
Urban Streets and Local Roads: Suitable for urban streets and local roads, where temperature variations occur, ensuring durability and performance in moderate weather.
Parking Lots and Driveways: Ideal for commercial and residential parking areas, driveways, and access roads, offering a strong surface that can withstand regular vehicle loads.
Bridges and Overpasses: Used in the construction of bridge decks and flyovers, where it provides stability against deformation and cracking caused by thermal stresses.
Airport Runways and Taxiways: Suitable for airport pavements, including runways and taxiways, as it can handle the stresses from aircraft while maintaining performance.
Rehabilitation and Overlays: Applied in asphalt overlays and rehabilitation projects, improving the performance and extending the life of existing pavements.
Industrial Areas: Used in industrial pavements and service roads, where it can support moderate to heavy traffic loads and provide durability in varying temperatures.

Upon request, third-party witness testing can be conducted prior to shipment. To guarantee consistency and compliance, we also appoint reputable global inspection agencies to verify the quality of bitumen before every dispatch.
Advantage of Performance Grad PMB Bitumen PG 58-16
Performance Grade Bitumen PG 58-16 bitumen is a versatile binder suitable for a range of applications, including highways, urban streets, parking lots, bridges, and airport pavements. Its ability to resist rutting in high temperatures and cracking in colder conditions makes it an ideal choice for pavement construction and maintenance in moderate climates.
- Advanced Crack Resistance: Prevents low-temperature cracking in severe winter climates.
- High Rutting Resistance: Performs under extreme heat and traffic pressure.
- Exceptional Durability: Supports long-term pavement integrity under freeze-thaw stress.
- Quality Consistency: Engineered for reliable results across multiple climate conditions.
Key Features of PMB PG Bitumen 58-16
1. Superior High-Temperature Stability:
Performance Grade Bitumen PG 58-16 is engineered to withstand extreme heat, performing reliably at temperatures reaching 58°C. This high-temperature stability minimizes rutting and deformation, making it an ideal choice for heavy-traffic zones and hot-weather regions.
2. Reliable Low-Temperature Flexibility:
Even in severe cold—down to -16°C—this binder maintains its flexibility and resists cracking. Its performance in low temperatures ensures long-lasting durability in climates with harsh winters.
3. Enhanced Performance Through Polymer Modification:
Formulated with polymers such as SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) or similar elastomers, PMB 58-16 offers improved elasticity, cohesion, and structural strength. These enhancements significantly boost its resistance to thermal variations and heavy traffic loading.
SGS & Geo Chem Third Party Inspection
We are able to provide a certificate of SGS and GEO Chem inspection for all Bitumen PG projects upon request.
