PMB 45/80

Tiger Bitumen supplies PMB 45/80, a Polymer Modified Bitumen within the EN 14023 nominal penetration range framework, for international road, highway, and heavy-traffic pavement projects. PMB 45/80 is supplied according to the complete designation and standard specified for each project.

What Is PMB 45/80?

PMB 45/80 refers to Polymer Modified Bitumen with a nominal penetration range of 45 to 80 (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 the flexibility needed for general wearing-course and heavy-traffic asphalt applications.

PMB 45/80 and EN 14023 Designation

PMB 45/80 is the nominal penetration range defined under EN 14023, not a complete grade designation on its own. The complete grade designation includes the applicable minimum softening-point class, which is selected according to the project specification and confirmed at the quotation stage.

PMB 45/80 Specification Parameters

The penetration range is fixed by the 45/80 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 45/80 Applications

Internationally, the 45/80 penetration range is commonly specified for general wearing-course and heavy-traffic asphalt mixtures, including highways and other paved infrastructure, where improved resistance to rutting and fatigue is required alongside good workability. Exact application suitability should be confirmed against the complete designation and the project’s specification.

Packaging and Export Supply

PMB 45/80 is supplied primarily in new steel drums. Where a project specifically requires bag packaging, PMB 45/80 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 45/80-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.
