Some roads must handle everything: the summer heat that softens asphalt and the winter cold that can crack it. Bitumen PG 64-28 is built for those conditions. It is a versatile binder designed for warm to hot climates with moderate winters, making it perfect for highways, city roads, and industrial areas. Because it combines stiffness and flexibility, it keeps pavements smooth and safe longer. Moreover, it helps reduce repair costs and extends service life.

At Basekim, with strong operations in the UAE and Turkey, we supply Bitumen PG 64-28 to contractors, government agencies, and asphalt producers around the world. Therefore, buyers trust us for consistent quality, competitive pricing, and reliable delivery.

What Is PG 64-28?

The PG stands for Performance Grade, part of the Superpave binder classification. The first number, 64, indicates the maximum pavement temperature (°C) where the binder stays firm and resists rutting. Meanwhile, the second number, –28, shows the lowest pavement temperature (°C) at which the binder stays flexible and resists cracking.

Because of this temperature range, PG 64-28 is widely specified for roads in temperate or warmer zones that still experience some cold weather. In addition, it can be polymer-modified when projects require even more elasticity and durability. As a result, it is a trusted option for mixed-climate infrastructure projects.

Why Choose PG 64-28?

Contractors and agencies prefer this grade for several reasons:

• Strong rutting resistance: Keeps roads stable in warm to hot summers, and therefore reduces deformation.

• Cold flexibility: Withstands drops to –28°C without cracking, which helps extend pavement life.

• Reliable performance: Balances stiffness and elasticity for longer-lasting roads, so maintenance is less frequent.

• Cost-effective: Delivers premium results without excessive cost, making it a budget-smart choice.

• Standard compliance: Meets Superpave, ASTM, and AASHTO requirements, and therefore aligns with project specifications.

Consequently, PG 64-28 is trusted for projects where reliability and performance are equally important.

Key Technical Details

A quick reference for Bitumen PG 64-28:

• Maximum pavement temperature: 64°C

• Minimum pavement temperature: –28°C

• Traffic levels: Light to heavy (flexible for mixed uses)

• Modification: Straight-run or polymer-modified options

• Packaging: Steel drums, bulk tankers, or flexi-tanks

• Common buyers: Highway agencies, asphalt plants, contractors, traders

• Supplier: Basekim (UAE & Turkey)

Moreover, packaging matters. Steel drums are safe and export-ready, while bulk options reduce handling time for large jobs. In addition, our team ensures labels, documentation, and loading meet international standards.

Applications That Benefit

Because it handles both heat and cold, PG 64-28 is well suited for:

1. Highways and expressways – Stretches carrying heavy, continuous traffic where reliability matters.

2. Urban roads and bus lanes – Surfaces exposed to frequent stops, so deformation resistance is essential.

3. Airport taxiways and runways – Areas needing strength and stability for safety and compliance.

4. Industrial yards and ports – Pavements under constant heavy loads where downtime is costly.

5. Overlay and maintenance work – Ideal for upgrading existing roads in mixed climates and improving lifespan.

Consequently, this grade is a favorite among infrastructure planners and contractors looking for a binder that can perform year-round. Moreover, it provides confidence for public and private projects alike.

Quality and Testing

At Basekim, quality is never a guess. Every shipment of PG 64-28 undergoes strict testing to ensure consistency and safety. Therefore, clients receive materials that meet or exceed expectations:

• Penetration and softening point – Check hardness and heat stability, so the binder performs under stress.

• Viscosity – Verify flow characteristics for mixing and paving, ensuring smooth application.

• Elastic recovery and ductility – Confirm flexibility under stress, which is critical in cold conditions.

• Polymer verification (if modified) – Ensure performance in demanding projects.

In addition, we maintain complete documentation and certification for every batch, so you receive material that meets your specs and your client’s standards. As a result, delays and non-compliance are avoided.
