PMB 90/150

PMB 90/150 Supplier and Exporter

Tiger Bitumen supplies PMB 90/150, a Polymer Modified Bitumen within the EN 14023 nominal penetration range framework, for international road, highway, and paving projects. PMB 90/150 is supplied according to the complete designation and standard specified for each project.

What Is PMB 90/150?

PMB 90/150 refers to Polymer Modified Bitumen with a nominal penetration range of 90 to 150 (0.1 mm) at 25°C. Bitumen in this range is modified with a polymer to improve flexibility and resistance to cracking at a softer consistency, while retaining the performance benefits of polymer modification.

PMB 90/150 and EN 14023 Designation

Under EN 14023, 90/150 is a nominal penetration range rather than a complete grade designation on its own. A complete PMB designation combines this penetration range with the applicable minimum softening-point class specified for the project. The applicable softening-point class for PMB 90/150 is confirmed against the project specification and quotation requirements.

PMB 90/150 Specification Parameters

Property PMB 90/150 Test Method
Penetration at 25°C (0.1 mm) 90-150 EN 1426
Softening point (Ring & Ball) Per applicable class/project specification EN 1427
Elastic recovery Per applicable class/project specification EN 13398
Storage stability (softening point difference) Per applicable class/project specification EN 13399
Fraass breaking point Per applicable class/project specification EN 12593

The penetration range is fixed by the 90/150 designation. The applicable softening-point class and declared performance properties depend on the complete EN 14023 designation and project specification. The exact designation and applicable values are confirmed against the customer’s project requirements at the quotation stage.

PMB 90/150 Applications

Internationally, the 90/150 penetration range is used where a soft, highly flexible modified binder is required, including applications prioritizing low-temperature performance and resistance to cracking in cold or widely variable climates. Exact application suitability should be confirmed against the complete designation and the project’s specification.

Packaging and Export Supply

PMB 90/150 is supplied primarily in new steel drums. Where a project specifically requires bag packaging, PMB 90/150 can also be supplied in 1 Metric Ton (1,000 kg) PP woven bags in a steel cage, subject to confirmation for the specific grade and order. Tiger Bitumen’s packaging facility is located in the Karachi Export Processing Zone, close to Port Qasim and Karachi Port, supporting container export through Pakistan’s major ports. See our drum and jumbo bag packing page for details.

TDS, COA and Inspection

Tiger provides a PMB 90/150-specific Technical Data Sheet and a shipment-specific Certificate of Analysis matched to the confirmed grade and project specification. Third-party inspection through SGS or Bureau Veritas can be arranged where required by the buyer or project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PMB 90/150?

PMB 90/150 is Polymer Modified Bitumen with a nominal penetration range of 90 to 150 (0.1 mm) at 25°C, defined under the EN 14023 framework.

Is PMB 90/150 a complete EN 14023 designation?

Not on its own. 90/150 is the nominal penetration range; the complete designation also states a minimum softening-point class, confirmed against your project specification and quotation requirements.

What is PMB 90/150 used for?

It’s used where a soft, highly flexible modified binder is needed, including applications prioritizing low-temperature performance and crack resistance, depending on the softening-point class selected for the project.
