Polymer Modified Bitumen
Plastomeric Thermoplastic Based – Grade P-120
Petra Oil’s Grade P-120 is a high-performance Plastomeric Thermoplastic Based Modified Bitumen engineered to deliver exceptional strength, deformation resistance, and heat tolerance. Formulated with advanced polymers and premium-grade thermoplastic additives, P-120 is built to endure the toughest environmental and loading conditions. With a softening point of 120°C, this grade is specifically designed for applications where extreme heat and mechanical stress demand a binder of the highest stability and stiffness.
P-120 is a perfect solution for areas such as high-speed expressways, container terminals, airport runways, and heavy industrial pavements that require long-term durability with minimal rutting or cracking. Its rigid structure ensures dimensional stability under prolonged load exposure, making it a reliable choice for critical infrastructure.
Key Specifications:
- Softening Point: 120°C
- Binder Type: Plastomeric Thermoplastic Based Modified Bitumen
- Standard Compliance: IS 15462:2019
- Application Category: High-Stress Pavement Infrastructure
Main Applications of P-120:
- Airport Runways & Taxiways: Withstands the weight and pressure of repeated aircraft movements while maintaining surface integrity under heat.
- Container Yards & Ports: Delivers superior stiffness and resistance to static loads from heavy containers and cranes.
- Expressways & Flyovers: Designed for uninterrupted, high-speed vehicular movement with minimal surface wear or deformation.
Benefits of P-120:
- Excellent resistance to thermal deformation and surface rutting
- Ideal for extreme climates with high ambient temperatures
- Maximizes pavement lifespan under heavy mechanical loading
- Reduced frequency of maintenance, lowering lifecycle costs
