Performance Grades

PG76 – PG-76-16

Petra Oil’s PG 76-16 is a high-performance, polymer-modified asphalt binder engineered for climates that experience extreme summer heat and moderately cold winters. Designed in accordance with Superpave performance grading standards, PG 76-16 provides excellent high-temperature resistance (up to 76°C) along with reliable low-temperature flexibility (down to -16°C), making it an ideal solution for pavements subjected to high traffic and variable seasonal conditions.

This binder is formulated to deliver long-term resistance to rutting, fatigue, and thermal cracking—especially in urban networks, industrial zones, and expressways where heavy loads and thermal stress frequently interact. With robust thermal stability and mechanical strength, PG 76-16 ensures superior durability and reduced maintenance needs over the pavement’s lifecycle.

Compliant with AASHTO M320, PG 76-16 is produced under strict quality controls, ensuring batch-to-batch consistency for high-performance applications in transitional climate zones.

 

Key Specifications of PG 76-16:

 

•Performance Grade: PG 76-16
• High-Temperature Grade: 76°C
• Low-Temperature Grade: -16°C
• Standard Compliance: AASHTO M320
• Type: Superpave Performance Grade Asphalt Binder

 

Main Applications of PG 76-16:

 

•Expressways and Major Arterials: Ideal for highways in regions with hot summers and moderately cold winters.
• Industrial Access Roads: Supports repeated heavy loading in thermally active zones.
• Urban Intersections: Withstands stop-start traffic and localized heat concentration.

 

Key Benefits of PG 76-16:

 

•High-Temperature Rutting Resistance: Maintains surface shape under sustained thermal and mechanical stress.
• Low-Temperature Flexibility: Reduces cracking in colder conditions.
• Durable and Reliable: Withstands environmental changes with minimal deterioration.
• Consistent Quality Control: Manufactured for predictable performance in critical builds.
