PMB 40/100

Tiger Bitumen supplies PMB 40/100, a Polymer Modified Bitumen within the EN 14023 nominal penetration range framework, for international road, highway and paving projects. PMB 40/100 is supplied according to the complete designation and standard specified for each project.

What Is PMB 40/100?

PMB 40/100 refers to Polymer Modified Bitumen with a nominal penetration range of 40 to 100 (0.1 mm) at 25°C. Bitumen in this range is modified with a polymer to improve resistance to permanent deformation and fatigue cracking while maintaining flexibility across a range of asphalt mixture designs.

PMB 40/100 and EN 14023 Designation

Under EN 14023, 40/100 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 40/100 is confirmed against the project specification and quotation requirements.

PMB 40/100 Specification Parameters

The penetration range is fixed by the 40/100 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 40/100 Applications

Internationally, the 40/100 penetration range is used across a range of asphalt mixture designs where a moderately stiff, flexible binder is required, spanning general wearing-course to heavier-traffic applications depending on the softening-point class selected for the project. Exact application suitability should be confirmed against the complete designation and the project’s specification.

Packaging and Export Supply

PMB 40/100 is supplied primarily in new steel drums. Where a project specifically requires bag packaging, PMB 40/100 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 40/100-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.
