What is PMB 70

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.
