Petra Oil’s PG 70-16 is a high-performance asphalt binder specifically formulated for regions that experience both high summer temperatures and moderately cold winters. Designed in accordance with Superpave performance grading standards, PG 70-16 ensures long-term durability by delivering high rutting resistance at elevated pavement temperatures (up to 70°C) and improved flexibility at low temperatures down to -16°C.

This binder is engineered for critical pavement projects where both traffic-induced stress and seasonal temperature variations are significant factors. With superior stability under thermal load and enhanced resistance to low-temperature cracking, PG 70-16 is an excellent choice for expressways, major arterial roads, and urban networks in transitional climate zones.

Produced to meet and exceed AASHTO M320 standards, PG 70-16 ensures high binder consistency and reliability across batches. It performs exceptionally well under the pressure of constant vehicular load, maintaining pavement integrity with minimal surface distress over time.
