PMB

Our PMB plant is based on advanced Massenza technology from Italy, a globally recognized manufacturer specializing in high-performance road construction equipment and Polymer Modified Bitumen production systems. The technology provides an efficient and reliable platform for producing consistent, high-quality PMB products.

Produced by Wataniya Bitumen, our PMB is designed to deliver improved performance across a wide range of temperatures, with enhanced resistance to rutting, thermal cracking, and fatigue caused by heavy and repeated traffic loads.

Performance Grading

Our PMB grades follow the AASHTO M320 / Superpave Performance Grade (PG) system. The PG designation identifies the temperature range in which the binder is designed to perform, with the first number representing the maximum pavement temperature and the second representing the minimum pavement temperature.

Grades supplied

  • PG 82-22 — extreme-heat corridors with cold-winter service

  • PG 82-10 — extreme-heat corridors, mild winters

  • PG 76-22 — heavy-load highways, cold winters

  • PG 76-16 — heavy-load highways, moderate winters

  • PG 76-10 — heavy-load highways, warm regions

  • PG 70-22 — standard highways, cold winters

  • PG 70-10 — standard highways, warm regions

Applications

  • Heavy-traffic highways and interchanges

  • Bus and truck routes subject to slow-moving heavy loads

  • Airport pavements

  • Bridge deck asphalt overlays

  • Warm-climate regions where standard bitumen softens

Standards

  • AASHTO M320 (Performance Grade specification)

  • ASTM D7175 (Dynamic Shear Rheometer testing)
