Alkenza supplies premium polymer modified bitumen PMB 70 for highways, airport runways, bridge decks, and heavy traffic road projects. PMB 70 combines conventional bitumen with styrenic block copolymers to deliver superior elasticity, rutting resistance, and crack resistance. FOB and CIF delivery with complete technical support.
PMB 70 is a polymer modified bitumen produced by blending conventional bitumen with styrenic block copolymers, typically styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS). This modification process creates a three-dimensional polymer network within the bitumen matrix, significantly enhancing its elastic recovery, high-temperature stability, and low-temperature flexibility.
The designation PMB 70 refers to the performance grade classification where the numerical value indicates the high-temperature performance rating. Unlike conventional penetration or viscosity grades, polymer modified bitumen is classified by its performance characteristics under simulated traffic and temperature conditions, making it more relevant for engineering applications.
PMB 70 delivers superior resistance to permanent deformation (rutting) at high temperatures while maintaining flexibility to prevent thermal and load cracking at low temperatures. This makes it the preferred choice for premium asphalt mixes in demanding applications where conventional bitumen would fail prematurely.
Premium asphalt for heavy traffic national highways and expressways.
High-load surfaces for commercial and cargo aircraft operations.
Flexible waterproofing layers with superior stress absorption.
Industrial roads, ports, and truck terminals subject to heavy loads.

PMB 70 polymer modified bitumen is specifically engineered for premium asphalt applications where superior performance under extreme conditions is required.
Heavy traffic corridors and expressways requiring rutting resistance under sustained commercial vehicle loads.
Runway surfaces for commercial aircraft with high static and dynamic loads at low speeds.
Flexible wearing courses on bridge structures with high stress absorption requirements.
Port facilities, logistics hubs, and truck terminals subject to repeated heavy axle loads.
Roads in regions with extreme temperature variations requiring thermal cracking resistance.
Premium SMA mixtures requiring high binder content and superior aggregate skeleton support.
PMB 70 is available in multiple packing formats to suit different project scales, handling capabilities, and delivery requirements.
Liquid PMB 70 transported in heated tanker vessels at 160-180 degrees Celsius. Direct pump discharge at project sites with heating infrastructure. Lowest freight cost per MT for large infrastructure projects.
New steel drums filled with PMB 70, sealed and loaded on containers. 80-100 drums per 20ft container. No heated terminal required at destination. Ideal for project sites without bulk heating infrastructure.
Polypropylene FIBC jumbo bags filled with PMB 70. 8-12 bags per 20ft container. More efficient per-MT than drums for projects with crane or forklift handling capabilities.
