Key Characteristics of PMB 64-10

High Temperature Performance: Designed to resist rutting and deformation at pavement temperatures up to 64°C.
Low Temperature Performance: Low Temperature Performance: Offers flexibility and resistance to cracking at temperatures down to -10°C.
Polymer Modification: The addition of polymers improves the bitumen’s elasticity, cohesion, and overall durability. This enhancement increases its resistance to temperature-induced damage.

Main Applications Of Polymer Modified Bitumen PMB 64-10

PMB 64-10 is widely used in applications where enhanced performance properties are essential:

High-Traffic Roads and Highways: Suitable for road surfaces exposed to heavy traffic, PMB 64-10 offers better resistance to rutting and deformation.
Bridges and Elevated Structures: Used on bridge decks and overpasses to prevent cracking due to the additional thermal stresses these structures face.
Airport Runways: Effective in runways where both high and low-temperature performance and durability are crucial.
Urban and Industrial Areas: Ideal for areas with high volumes of heavy vehicles and repeated loads, ensuring the surface remains intact and durable.

PMB 64-10 is a polymer-modified bitumen designed for applications that demand enhanced rutting resistance, flexibility, and durability. It is ideal for high-traffic roads, bridges, airport runways, urban roads, and industrial areas, offering reliable performance in hot and moderate cold climates. This makes it a preferred choice in infrastructure projects where the pavement needs to withstand heavy loads and temperature variations.
