Some roads need more than ordinary asphalt. They face not only the stress of traffic but also harsh winters that test their limits. Bitumen PG 58-34 is made for those conditions. It is a high-performing binder that keeps pavements flexible at very low temperatures while still holding firm in moderate heat. Because it resists cracking in cold climates and rutting in warm seasons, it helps reduce maintenance costs and keeps traffic moving safely.
At Basekim, with strong supply bases in the UAE and Turkey, we understand that cold-region roads need binders that perform. Therefore, we supply Bitumen PG 58-34 worldwide, giving contractors and road agencies consistent quality, timely shipments, and competitive prices.
The PG stands for Performance Grade, part of the Superpave system. The first number, 58, means the binder can handle pavement temperatures up to 58°C without softening too much. The second number, –34, shows it stays flexible down to –34°C, which is critical for regions that freeze hard in winter.
Because of this range, PG 58-34 is chosen for areas with mild to warm summers and long, cold winters. It is especially valuable in northern climates where temperature swings can damage pavement quickly.
Road agencies and contractors choose this grade for several reasons:
Superior cold flexibility: Performs even at –34°C, reducing thermal cracking.
Stable in warm seasons: Maintains shape in moderate heat, resisting rutting.
Budget-smart: Balances performance and cost for public and private projects.
Less downtime: Fewer cracks mean fewer repairs and less traffic disruption.
Compliant: Meets Superpave, ASTM, and AASHTO standards.
In short, PG 58-34 offers peace of mind for climates where winter damage is a major concern.
Here is a quick reference to Bitumen PG 58-34:
Maximum pavement temperature: 58°C
Minimum pavement temperature: –34°C
Traffic levels: Light to moderate
Modification: Usually straight-run, sometimes lightly polymer-modified
Packaging: Steel drums, bulk tankers, or flexi-tanks
Buyer types: Road authorities, contractors, asphalt plants
Supplier: Basekim (UAE & Turkey)
Moreover, packaging matters. Steel drums offer secure handling, while bulk options are efficient for larger projects and exports.
PG 58-34 is ideal for places where freezing conditions are common, including:
Urban and rural roads – Municipal streets, local connectors, and regional routes.
Low-volume highways – Areas with steady but not heavy truck traffic.
Parking lots and residential zones – Flexible enough for colder months.
Airstrips in northern regions – Suitable for taxiways and smaller runways.
Overlay and maintenance – Extends life of older pavements without major costs.
Consequently, it’s a favorite for towns, cities, and contractors working in northern climates or higher altitudes.
At Basekim, we believe every road deserves materials that work. That’s why each batch of PG 58-34 is tested for:
Penetration and softening point – Confirms binder hardness and heat tolerance.
Viscosity and flow – Ensures proper mixing and laying.
Elastic recovery and ductility – Guarantees flexibility and durability.
In addition, strict documentation and export standards mean you get materials ready to perform and ready to clear customs quickly.
The right supplier is as important as the right binder. Basekim offers:
Consistent product quality – Checked and verified before shipping.
Flexible supply options – From drums to bulk shipments.
Fast delivery – Using UAE and Turkish ports for global reach.
Customer-first support – Technical help and quick responses.
As a result, clients return to Basekim for dependable supply and service.
In summary, Bitumen PG 58-34 gives you a road binder built for winter. Because it keeps pavements flexible in extreme cold and stable in moderate heat, it protects your investment and keeps drivers safer. Moreover, when supplied by Basekim, it comes with the backing of quality, service, and logistics you can trust.
It offers better low-temperature flexibility (–34°C), making it more suitable for colder regions.
Steel drums, bulk tankers, and flexi-tanks, with labeling and documentation as needed.
