Polymer Modified Bitumen PMB 75/130 for Africa
PMB 75/130 for Africa is a soft, highly flexible Polymer Modified Bitumen with a nominal penetration range of 75 to 130 (0.1 mm) at 25 °C. Under the EN 14023 framework, the complete grade designation and project specification determine the required performance class.
Compared with firmer PMB grades, PMB 75/130 for Africa may be considered when flexibility and cracking resistance are priorities. Polymer modification can improve binder performance; however, suitability depends on the complete designation and the conditions of the project.
Tiger Bitumen, a brand owned by HY International Group, supplies PMB 75/130 to African paving projects that specify this grade. Share your project requirements to confirm the applicable designation and supply details.
Tiger Brand PMB 75/130 Specifications
| Polymer Modified Bitumen 75/130 | ||
| Property | Specifications | Test Method |
| Penetration @ 25 °C (0.1 mm) | 75-130 | EN 1426 |
| Only the 75/130 penetration range is fixed by the grade name. The complete EN 14023 designation adds a minimum softening-point class, in the form PMB 75/130-[minimum softening point], selected from your project specification. That class and the other declared properties are confirmed at quotation. They are reported in the PMB 75/130 Technical Data Sheet and the shipment Certificate of Analysis. | ||
Grade Comparison
| Mid-range PMB (e.g. PMB 45/80) | PMB 75/130 | |
| Penetration range (0.1 mm) | 45-80 | 75-130 |
| Consistency | Firmer | Softer, highly flexible |
| Main priority | Rutting and fatigue resistance with workability | Flexibility and cracking resistance |
| Typical use | Wearing-course and heavy-traffic mixes | Applications where low-temperature performance and cracking resistance come first |
Climate and Project Selection
The 75/130 penetration range may be considered internationally where low-temperature performance and cracking resistance are priorities, including in cold or widely variable climates. For African projects, however, select this grade according to the pavement design and project specification rather than the region alone. Final suitability must be confirmed against the complete designation and applicable requirements.
Compare neighbouring grades before confirming your selection:
- Firmer: PMB 65/105
- Softer: PMB 90/150
- Unmodified alternative: Bitumen 100/120
