Performance Grade PG 70-10
Performance Grade PG 70-10 Bitumen Supplier
Performance Grade PG 70-10 Bitumen is an asphalt binder classified under the Superpave Performance Grade (PG) system, a classification method distinct from traditional penetration grading. Rather than measuring hardness at a single fixed temperature, the PG system defines binders according to the pavement temperature range they are engineered to withstand. The first number, 70, represents the high-temperature Performance Grade classification, generally relevant where resistance to deformation and rutting under warm conditions is an important pavement design consideration, while the second number, -10, represents the low temperature classification, relating to resistance against thermal cracking. This combination positions PG 70-10 toward projects involving higher expected pavement temperatures alongside moderate cold temperature demands. Actual pavement performance depends on multiple factors beyond the grade designation alone, including asphalt mixture design, traffic loading, aggregate properties, construction quality, and applicable project specifications. PG 70-10 specifications and technical properties are established through standardized Superpave testing methods, and buyers should confirm exact values through applicable test documentation. This grade may be relevant to road construction, highway construction and maintenance, and asphalt pavement production, with airport pavements, industrial roads, and heavy traffic infrastructure applications considered where technically appropriate. Turkey Bitumen Supplies Performance Grade PG 70-10 Bitumen to international importers, asphalt plants, contractors, and procurement teams, supporting export orders around project-specific requirements and technical documentation.
HY International has the capability to Export and Supply the Performance Grade Bitumen PG 70-10 in compliance with National and International standards.

Performance Grade PG 70-10 Bitumen Supplier
Performance Grade PG 70-10 Bitumen is an asphalt binder classified under the Superpave PG system, graded according to the high and low pavement temperatures it is designed to withstand, rather than by penetration hardness.
The "70" indicates the high temperature grade related to resistance against deformation, and the "-10" indicates the low-temperature grade related to resistance against thermal cracking, together defining the binder's intended temperature range.
Penetration grading, such as 60/70, measures bitumen hardness at a fixed test temperature, while the PG system evaluates binder behavior across a range of expected in service pavement temperatures, offering a climate oriented classification.
PG 70-10 Bitumen may be used in road construction, highway construction and maintenance, and asphalt pavement production, with airport pavements and industrial roads considered where technically appropriate.
Specifications are established through standardized Superpave testing addressing high and low temperature performance. Exact values should be confirmed through applicable test documentation and project design requirements.
The higher high-temperature grade in PG 70-10 can be relevant where resistance to deformation and rutting under warm conditions is an important pavement design consideration, subject to project specific evaluation.
PG 70-10 may be suitable for highways and heavy traffic roads where the project's climate and temperature profile align with this grade, subject to engineering evaluation and applicable design specifications.
PG 70-10 may be considered for airport pavements and industrial roads where technically appropriate, depending on the specific traffic loading and temperature performance requirements involved.
Buyers should confirm applicable PG test documentation, intended pavement temperature range, project specifications, packaging requirements, and shipping logistics before finalizing a purchase order.
Buyers can contact Turkey Bitumen with their required quantity, destination port, and project details to receive a quotation along with relevant technical information for Performance Grade PG 70-10 Bitumen.
